Genomics in Community Paediatrics
Dr Ahmed Ahmed and Dr Veronica Govender
This pathway is intended to guide community paediatricians in North Thames in identifying, referring, and initiating WGS for children with suspected genetic conditions. It aligns with NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS) policies and aims to enable timely diagnosis and management.
We recognise that ordering WGS will be a change in practice for many community paediatricians. This document outlines key information and resources to support this transition. Please note that genomic associates are available to support with consent and requesting relevant blood samples for health care teams in the North Thames region, and Clinical Geneticists / Genetic scientists are available for clinical support.
The document was published in April 2026.
