Many different health conditions can be caused by changes in our genes. For many people, finding and understanding these genetic changes provides an answer to their health problems and can help prevent and treat current or future health problems.

At First Light Genetics, our approach is shaped by years of medical practice across paediatrics, cancer and subspeciality medicine, allowing us to see the human navigating the system and their health behind the DNA and the data.
The foundation of the service is the integration of diagnostic assessments, medical expertise, genetic counselling, and science, with a profound respect for your life story. We recognise that genetic results are not a static data point; it is a chapter in a lifelong journey and engagement with your healthcare.

A Complete Clinical Picture. A genetic consultation is a holistic medical assessment. The diagnostic assessment correlates the DNA results with an individual’s health.
A Unified Diagnostic Path. We provide a single point of care for the assessment, genomics and counselling. This prevents fragmented care and ensures the clinical plan is clear, consistent, and medically governed from start to finish.
Patient and family support. Genetic counselling and support are key to our practise.
A Professional Partnership We offer a consultant-to-consultant collaboration. We take the clinical lead on the diagnostic journey, providing you with a definitive medical opinion and a practical management plan for your patient.
