Some of our wonderful team outside of our new home. It has been a lengthy process to get here but we are now starting to feel more settled in our new office space. Thanks to everyone for your patience with this journey!
We have officially relocated! After many years at Chapel Allerton Hospital, you can now find us based at Joseph's Well Offices, just around the corner from the LGI 🏨

New in our blog: “I’ve heard about #GeneticCounselling, but I’m not 100% sure how it may help my patient.” If this sounds like you, then our #GeneticCounsellor-written short read (for any clinician) illuminates the benefits GCs offer.

Proud to see one of our very own genetic counsellors improving the education of genetics and genomics as part of her other role 👏🧬 Well done Jo!
Genetics vs Genomics, taught by Jo Mumford today, @SEgenomics Education Lead, really filled the gaps in WGS knowledge. Thank you for clarifying some misconceptions & giving a well-rounded thorough guide to Genomics! #cardiogen #genechat @genomicsedu @Unique_charity #rarechromo
