NHS medical genetics services covering both children and adults and are in two parts:
Clinical genetics services – where doctors and genetic counsellors diagnose genetic conditions and/or assess the risk a patient will inherit or develop a genetic condition; and
Laboratory genetics services – where scientists undertake a range of genetic and blood tests. Tissue and samples are referred to the laboratory from either clinical genetics services or from other hospital services.
Medical genetics services cover areas of England with populations of between 1 and 5 million people. Services are usually coordinated through a main hospital where the clinical service is based with regular clinics in local hospitals across the service’s area.
