NHS England maintains a series of web pages about genomics and the genomic medicine service.
The UK has a world-leading genomic medicine infrastructure including the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS) Research Collaborative and will be at the forefront of genomic medicine development.
Genomics in the NHS
The 100,000 Genomes project completed recruitment in 2018. The process of feeding back results is still on-going, however it has already added a huge amount of knowledge to the fields of genomics, cancer, and rare disease.
Genomics in primary care
