The NHS North West Genomic Medicine Service Alliance (NW GMSA) is one of seven regional alliances launched in England in January 2021 by the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS).
CMCA has formed a strong relationship with the Alliance and stakeholders across the region, including the NHS Genomic Medicine Centres (GMCs) and the North West NHS Genomic Laboratory Hubs in Manchester and Liverpool, as well as other cancer alliances, pathology alliances, primary care, integrated care systems, and NHS teams.
The Alliance was implemented to oversee and co-ordinate the embedding of genomics into routine healthcare, across the North West.
They are managing multiple regional and national projects which provide support to professionals and patients across the region, including workforce development education and training.
