We have been asked by the office of Professor Dame Sue Hill, England’s Chief Scientific Officer, to gauge whether any members would be interested in sponsoring this year’s NHS Genomics Summit, likely to be on 15th and 16th December 2025 at the QEII centre in central London. This is not a BIVDA event and is instead run by NHS England and co-organised with the Department of Health and Social Care this year to reflect the forthcoming integration of NHS England into the Department.
The event has run for the last few years and has previously attracted around 500 delegates, including those working in the NHS Genomic Medicine Service and wider NHS, plus representatives of industry, Government policy makers and charities.
This is a not-for-profit event which would remain free for delegates; only made possible with commercial sponsors. Given the significant role for genomics set out in the Government’s 10 Year Plan and its commitment to the NHS Genomic Medicine Service as the vehicle for delivery, this summit is more timely than ever.
The event has been costed at around £160,000 for a two-day. The following sponsorship packages have been developed for industry partners, though there is room for flexibility if there are other particular opportunities companies might be interested in:
