The All Wales Medical Genomics Laboratory (AWMGL) recently received an uplift in funding to enable the delivery of equitable testing for patients in Wales to patients in England who are eligible for tests detailed in the Genomics England National Genomics Test Directory for Cancer, thus, supporting AWMGL to work with Welsh clinicians to align services to the Test Directory. To enable successful alignment it is essential that the laboratory expands their services that are offered to those that are indicated as essential services in the Genomics England National Genomics Test Directory for Cancer 2020/2021 (www.england.nhs.uk/publication/national… ↗).

To meet the service needs, AWMGL are looking to purchase a new DNA and RNA based single targeted somatic testing panel of at least 500 genes of clinical relevance to comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (including both current and future clinically actionable genes and those associated with clinical trials).
