Genetic & Genomic Testing London at Tower Bridge Hospital, East London
Genetic testing · Genomics · With counselling

Genetic & genomic testing, understood properly.

Your DNA can offer real insight — from inherited cancer risk to how you respond to medicines. We offer clinically meaningful genetic testing with proper counselling, so results guide action, not anxiety.

not just data

Not for emergencies. For anything serious or life-threatening, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent advice any time, NHS 111 is available 24/7.

What we offer

Testing matched to your question

  • Hereditary cancer-risk testing (e.g. BRCA1/2 and related genes)
  • Pharmacogenomic testing — how you metabolise medicines
  • Carrier and family-planning testing
  • Cardiovascular and inherited-condition panels
  • Wellness and lifestyle genomics (with honest caveats)
  • Pre- and post-test genetic counselling

How it works

Consent, counselling, clarity

  1. A consultation to decide whether testing will actually help you.
  2. Informed consent and counselling about what results could mean — including for your family.
  3. A simple blood or saliva sample.
  4. Results explained by a clinician, with a clear action plan.
  5. Onward referral to clinical genetics where appropriate.

Tested responsibly

Some results can’t be un-known

Why counselling matters

Genetic results can affect not just you but your relatives, and some findings can’t be un-known. That’s why we test with proper counselling and consent, and match the test to a real question — not as a novelty.

Good to know

Safe, joined-up care

GMC-registered clinicians, CQC-registered clinic

You’re seen by GMC-registered clinicians at our CQC-registered Whitechapel clinic. We keep clear, confidential records and, with your consent, share a summary with your NHS GP so your care stays joined up. A chaperone is available for any examination on request, at no charge.

You don’t need to be registered with us, and private care complements — it doesn’t replace — being registered with an NHS GP.

What we don’t do here

  • We are not an emergency service. For anything serious or life-threatening, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent advice any time, NHS 111 is available 24/7.
  • We are an outpatient clinic and do not provide hospital admission or inpatient care.
  • Private care and screening complement, and do not replace, being registered with an NHS GP or national NHS screening programmes.

Fees

Clear, up-front pricing

Consultation and assessment fees are set out on our price list, and any tests or treatments are explained and priced clearly before you go ahead — no surprises. Some services are priced on enquiry; just ask the clinic team.

Common questions

What can genetic testing tell me?

Inherited risks, how you respond to medicines, or carrier status — we match the test to what you want to know.

Is counselling included?

Yes — before and after testing.

Will results affect my insurance?

We explain the current position and implications so you can make an informed choice.

Can genes predict everything?

No — genes are one part of the picture, and we’re honest about what a test can and can’t tell you.

Understand your genes, with support
