Genomics is understanding your unique genetic information and what is means for your health. The North Thames Genomic Medicine Service (NTGMS) is the NHS team that provides modern genetic testing for seven million people in north London and surrounding areas. Knowledge from such tests can help doctors provide better care from childhood through adulthood and into old age. But right now, not everyone is benefiting from genomic medicine and research. This means some communities risk missing out on potential health benefits. The NTGMS and NHS Race and Health Observatory are looking to collaborate with local communities to create an easy-to-use online Genomics Health Hub.
