You may have heard of the Generation Study in the news today? Excited to be working with @jbuchanan_ox as we look into the costs and possible health and non-health outcomes of sequencing the genome of up to 100,000 newborns.
Very pleased to be leading a package of #healtheconomics research alongside the groundbreaking @GenomicsEngland Generation Study, ably supported by @mhuyvu.

UK Analysis Estimates Genomic Newborn Screening Costs for Generation Study
Here is a nice write-up about our study analysing the costs of genomic newborn screening in England, published in @GIMJournal a couple of months ago.

Today we (me, @mhuyvu, @hadleyssmith, Miranda Bailey) organised a pre-ICoNS workshop on "The Health Economics of Genomic Newborn Screening" for health economists and other stakeholders with an interest in the health economics of newborn sequencing. [1/4]
Today, @mhuyvu continues his world tour to present the results of our microcosting study of genomic newborn screening in England.
Today we're at the Queen Mary University of London William Harvey Day.

👶Next week is the 2025 International Consortium on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS) conference (23-24 Oct) in London and it promises to be a busy week.
Please reach out if you are attending ICoNS - very happy to connect.

Very much looking forward to presenting our health economic analysis plan on the cost-effectiveness of clinical metagenomics in patients with infective endocarditis.
Join the upcoming #IHEA Econ-Omics #ECR Journal Club on July 15 (8–10am UTC), featuring presentations on clinical metagenomics, functional genomics in rare diseases, and prenatal screening models. A senior health economist will lead the discussion. https://t.co/CQYmxmpxl1

Fantastic to see out work on the cost of genomic newborn screening sparking lots of great discussion. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our poster today at #GERS2025
In February we held an event discussing #NewbornScreening & the opportunities and challenges of bringing #genomics into the #screening process. We’re pleased to share the event report – please do pass on to anyone who might be interested. Details in thread https://t.co/prqdAQn7gn
With 3,000 participants recruited so far on the Generation Study, today's episode highlights lessons from early recruitment. Our guests discuss how ongoing engagement is refining information sharing and improving the study’s approach 🎙️

New paper on preparedness of community paediatricians for genomic medicine (GM): https://t.co/u3prr2qTgF
Whilst viewed positively, variation in uptake exists due to lack of time, resources, skills and not seeing GM as a priority

The Generation Study is screening for more than 200 rare conditions in newborn babies. Hear from some of the people involved in the study in the video below 👇

The updated 2022 CHEERS statement includes Health Economic Analysis Plans (HEAPs). There’s also clear guidance on what should be included in these plans. But where are people sharing their HEAPs? Are there specific open repositories being used for this?
