List of Genetic Clinics - The British Society for Genetic Medicine

About

The British Society for Genetic Medicine provides a forum for professionals involved in genetics and genomics as a clinical service and research.

As an umbrella organisation, our membership includes a wide spectrum of clinical, laboratory and research disciplines, not only in specialist genetic services but throughout the health professions.

The Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine

The Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine is a tripartite committee of the BSGM, RCPath and RCP, with representation from other professional bodies and patient organisations. It provides a unified forum to co-ordinate activities across a wide spectrum of organisations, particularly to promote and maintain the highest standards of practice in clinical and laboratory applications of genetics in medicine and to co-ordinate advice on service issues and workforce planning.

Genetic clinics

The United Kingdom has an internationally recognised excellence in the provision of clinical genetics and genomics services for patients.

NHS services include both clinical consultations and laboratory investigations. There is an extensive network of clinics specialising in the diagnosis and management of genetic conditions, based in regional centres (shown in red on the map). Many centres also hold clinics in local communities.

The laboratory services are currently undergoing reorganisation, so the information below shows where clinics are currently based.

Referral to a genetics clinic is usually through a GP or hospital specialist.
