Referral guidance

Referring clinicians check eligibility in a lot of different places — criteria PDFs, proformas, intranet pages, e-RS entries. QGenome needs to be visible in all of them.

Where to add QGenome

• The PDF referral criteria document — make sure every version on every website is updated

• The referral proforma or Family History Questionnaire (FHQ).

• The e-RS Directory of Services entry for the Genetics service (referrer-visible description field).

• Any shared ICB / integrated care board intranet pages aimed at primary care.

• GP education packs and Local Medical Committee (LMC) newsletters.

Update your required attachments checklist

Add a QGenome report to your standard list of required attachments so referrers know it's expected before they submit.

For example:

Required attachments

- Completed Family History Questionnaire (FHQ)

- QGenome report (generated via the Clinibee app — www.qgenome.co.uk)

- Any relevant histology or imaging

- Patient consent to be contacted (if applicable)
