Clinical genetics

We provide counselling, support, and diagnostic services to patients with, or at risk of inherited genetic disorders such as cancer, muscular dystrophy, and cystic fibrosis.

This service is hosted by Derby Hospitals, with the main service and referrals being undertaken at our administrative base in Nottingham.

The Genetics department at Nottingham City Hospital is the Regional Genetics Centre for most of the Trent region (a population of around 2.2 million).

We cover Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and North Leicestershire.

Initially patients will be assessed by a consultant and genetic counsellor and testing will be carried out if required. A counselling, support, and advice service is offered to family members.
