Genomics

This education package is primarily for breast and oncology teams in the Cheshire and Merseyside region. On completion, clinicians should be able to assess why genomic testing is available, who is eligible, what it could show and how to arrange it.

Contact Details

Support for clinicians is available via the on call genetic counsellor/geneticist via lwft.clingen@nhs.net and we aim to hold Teams MDT meetings approx. 4 times a year (details will be added to this site).
