Implementation and Data Enhancement community

The NHS is the first national health care system to offer whole genome sequencing as part of routine care. This presents an enormous opportunity for the betterment of treatment and genomic research, but also creates significant practical challenges around the effective implementation and application of genomic medicine in the national healthcare ecosystem. Research in this community will explore the social, economic, legal, and ethical effectiveness of Genomic Medicine in the NHS, as well as work to improve data quality and availability.

• Outputs that support and leverage data federation and the improvement of clinical and secondary health data in the NGRL.
• Quantitative and qualitative findings about the impact and efficacy of genomic medicine uptake and of the clinical and research uses of genomics.
• Patient reported outcomes.
• Measures of public perception and willingness to opt into genomic research.
