THE NORTHWEST GENOMIC MEDICINE SERVICE ALLIANCE
The NHS has established seven Genomic Medicine Service Alliances (GMSA) to provide equitable and consistent access to genomic services across England. The Alliance will build on the world leading work of the 100,000 Genomes Project which was the first in the world to use whole genome sequencing in clinical service on a large scale and the Genomic Medicine Centres which delivered this project.
The prime purpose of the Alliance is to provide equitable and consistent access to services, working across the Northwest of England geography.
The Northwest Genomics Medicine Service Alliance was formally established in January 2021 and includes executive leads for NHS providers and regional professional leads from across the Northwest. The organisations will work in partnership to support the embedding of genomic medicine for its population.
