Diagnostics & Prevention
Genetics & Precision Medicine
Your genes can guide which medicines suit you, what risks to watch for and how to tailor prevention. We use genetic testing where it is clinically useful — not as a novelty.
Options include pharmacogenomics (how you process medicines), hereditary cardiovascular and cancer-risk testing where appropriate, nutrigenomics where clinically appropriate, and genetic counselling or referral to interpret results.
What's included
- Pharmacogenomics
- Hereditary cardiovascular and cancer-risk testing where appropriate

Who it's for
- People with a strong family history of heart disease or cancer
- Anyone who has had side effects or poor response to medicines
- Those who want prevention tailored to their genetics
Common questions: Genetics & Precision Medicine
Will a genetic test tell me if I will get a disease?
Most results describe risk rather than certainty. Counselling helps you understand what a result means and what you can do about it.
What is pharmacogenomics?
It tests how your genes affect the way you process certain medicines, helping your physician choose drugs and doses that suit you.
