Whole genome sequencing for newborns: updates, developments and future perspectives

At this free-to-attend webinar, hear about recent developments, updates and future perspectives in paediatric genomics and the Newborn Genomes Programme. Genomic technologies, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), have rapidly evolved. The ever-reducing cost of WGS, as well as the increase in accessibility and availability of testing has reinforced the widespread increase of genomic approaches in clinical practice. Hear from a range of expert speakers at this event to find out more.

Numerous government-led ambitions are in place to continue expanding the use of genomics following the success of the 100,000 Genomics Project, including the provision of the Genomic Medicine Services and the roll-out of the Genomics England-led Newborn Screening Programme.

During this webinar, the Genomics England Newborns team will highlight developments and progress in the Newborn Genomes Programme, whilst a panel of senior clinicians will provide expert reflections, including education and training, research, and the importance of the patient and public voice, and wider issues.

The webinar will have time dedicated to an audience question and answer session.
