Epic ordering for Genomics tests is now available.
- Tests should always be ordered using Epic ordering
- The laboratory does not check outstanding order lists and does not chase samples. Please avoid unnecessary delays or disappointment by ensuring the laboratory receives an Epic order and a sample to enable testing to begin.
- Orders placed on existing samples that are held in a different laboratory may be significantly delayed or missed
Please note that only the `authorising clinician’ will receive an Epic notification when a report becomes available. The `ordering clinician’ is unlikely to receive a notification. Therefore, please can `authorising clinicians’ forward their genomic test result notifications to `ordering clinicians’ where appropriate.
Results will be available in the 'labs' rather than the 'media' tab.
Genomics Epic order codes
Clinicians using Epic should order tests, ensuring appropriate consent, using the following test codes:
Rare disease clinicians
| Code | Name | Description and use case |

| Code LAB9500 | Name Prenatal Genomic Testing | Description and use case Prenatal testing on the fetal specimen e.g. amniotic fluid or CVS |
| Code LAB9520 | Name NIPD | Description and use case Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis on maternal peripheral blood |
| Code LAB9518 | Name Pregnancy Loss Genomic Testing | Description and use case Testing on pregnancy loss specimens, including first, second or third trimester and still births |
| Code LAB7298 | Name Genomic Test Request on Stored Sample | Description and use case Add rare disease genomic tests to samples already processed and stored in the Genomics Laboratory |
Haemato-Oncology clinicians
| Code | Name | Description and use case |
|---|---|---|
| Code LAB9959 | Name Haem-Onc Genomic Testing | Description and use case General order where testing requirements are selected via an order question |

| Code LAB9956 | Name Rare Disease Genomic Testing | Description and use case Must be used for germline confirmation testing of variants discussed at GTAB |
Oncology clinicians
| Code | Name | Description and use case |
|---|---|---|
| Code LAB8501 | Name DPYD Hotspot | Description and use case Genetic testing for the common DPYD genetic variants |

Pathologists
| Code | Name | Description and use case |
|---|---|---|
| Code LAB8590 | Name Solid Cancer WGS Tumour Sample Sendout | Description and use case Use for ordering WGS testing on the tumour specimen |
