For referring clinicians

Use QGenome to check genomic referral eligibility before you refer — it takes a couple of minutes and means fewer referrals come back.

 

QGenome is a free digital tool that helps you apply genomic referral, risk-assessment, and testing guidance within a clinical setting. It walks you through the relevant guidance step by step and produces a concise report you can attach to your referral.

It's used by more than 2,000 healthcare professionals across more than 300 organisations - and it's free for any clinician in your region once your genetics service has a subscription in place.

What QGenome covers

  • Primary care

If you're a GP unsure whether a patient needs a genetics referral, start here. QGenome walks you through the most common scenarios you're likely to encounter in primary care, covering common cancers, cardiac conditions, and the prenatal setting.

  • Cancer

Guidance across 17 cancer types including breast, bowel, ovarian, endometrial, prostate, lung, cervical, renal, pancreatic, skin, haematological, childhood, and more.

  • Cardiac

Guidance for inherited cardiac conditions including aortopathies, familial hypercholesterolaemia, cardiomyopathies, inherited arrhythmias, joint hypermobility, and monogenic diabetes.

  • Renal

Guidance for cystic renal disease, proteinuric renal disease, and haematuria.

  • Prenatal

Guidance for common chromosomal conditions and single gene (monogenic) conditions in the prenatal setting.

What other clinicians say

"I use QGenome to help me determine the eligibility of my prostate cancer patients for germline testing. Setting up the app was quick and it takes less than a minute to determine patient eligibility. This has saved much time and resource in avoiding unnecessary referrals."

"Incredibly useful. Feels like I have a Genetic Counsellor on my shoulder."
Vickie Gadd, Gynae-Oncology CNS & Family History Nurse, Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust

"For someone new to genomics it has been invaluable in understanding eligibility pathways and has improved my knowledge and ability to speak to patients about their concerns."
