On this page you can find links to resources and outputs generated by our East Genomic Medicine Service Alliance (GMSA) transformation projects. Please note the 'Useful links' which relate to specific projects and conditions.
Little Book of Genomic Testing
Our small A6 booklet is your handy one-stop shop for all things genomics.
It's got links to sources of education and training, information and documentation on requesting genomic testing, key contacts within Clinical Genetics Services and Genomic Laboratories within our region, sources of information and support for patients, and more.
You can download a pdf copy below, or contact our Communications Lead Ian Kingsbury to discuss ordering hard copies for yourself and NHS colleagues.

Role specific postcards
Genomics red flags in fetal medicine
The card provides examples of genetic ‘red flags’ and acts as a prompt to complete an early referral to clinical genetics. The cards are not designed to replace local referral pathways, but to ensure the end point is the same – equity of access to genomic counselling and support.
The cards are available in A4 and A5 single page and folded designs. The Referring Details section can be edited to include whichever details are necessary, and all are in a printable format. If you wish to get flashcards professionally printed, you can use the ‘print-ready’ version below. To add your own Trust Logo, you will need to use either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Non-urgent advice: Rebranding or printing for your service
Important: Get in touch
If you would like to discuss getting these, or any of our resources for healthcare staff, printed or rebranded for your service, please contact our Communications Lead Ian Kingsbury.
Genomics BITEs
Since February 2023 we have run a 'lunch and learn' style series of education and training events for healthcare staff which we called our Genomics BITE series.
Usually lasting around an hour, the sessions are intended as an introductory, bite-sized overview of genomics / genetic testing as it relates to a particular specialty/pathway, condition or staff group.
You can watch our previous BITE sessions below:
