Public Standing Group: Newborn Genomes Programme

This procurement focuses on the facilitation and management of a group of members of the public drawn from previous dialogues to deliberate on:

The implications of storing a baby's genome over their lifetime

Other issues, as they arise, in the delivery of the Generation Study - particularly those which would benefit from public deliberation

The group will need to run for a period of one year and examples of the issues that might be deliberated on include:

• Expectations of genomics over a babies' lifetime: exploring acceptable uses
• Involving young people as they grow up: navigating consent and assent
• Disclosing genomic findings over a person's lifetime: how, when, why, who?
• Relationships between genomic and wider health data
• Health records and the incorporation of genomic data
• Clinical access to genomic data: exploring the boundaries
• Genomic futures: newborn screening implications for the future of prenatal testing
• Reanalysing genomic data: exploring parameters
