Really excited by the progress and ambition of the AI network. Alex Deng discusses how we can desilofy (fav new word and a really important one!) Datasets in the NHS and how we have already used AI to find new diagnoses. @NHSgms #nhsgenomics2024

Whoop whoop! @SWGenomics Work is happening NOW to link data appropriately and making the pathway a truly interoperable one. That includes digitising the test directory!

Compelling talk from Patient and Public Voice (PPV) panel member Steve Tyler, on how his life has been affected by blindness due to retinoblastoma.
Thanks to IVF involving genetic screening Steve has been able to have children without passing on his condition.

"Hope, loss, fear and all that" a patient journey we could all be a recipient of, so information is key. Steve Tyler hit the nail on the head. We need to work together, keep sharing that information and not take the too hard to handle approach @SWGenomics @NHSgms #NHSgenomics2024

"We should absolutely aim to lead the world. But we must also ensure we aren’t leaving behind any of our own patients. That was a central commitment of the Accelerating Genomic Medicine strategy."

I am so pleased that we are supporting the use of ctDNA in our region. I know our patient forum has been supportive, but hearing from Jason, whose treatment options changed as a result of this test, is truly inspiring @NHSgms @SWGenomics @SWGLH #NHSgenomics2024

Kick start of a conversation on returning additional cancer target genes, which can help access to trials. How do we do this? What do patients and clinicians think? #NHSgenomics2024 @SWGenomics

We’re proud to support the use of ctDNA testing in our region. Hearing Jason's story—where this test changed his treatment options—highlights the real-world impact of genomics.
