About Us

Programme Overview

The programme is funded by the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology and supported by the Office of Life Sciences. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has been commissioned by both organisations to lead the NHS arm of the programme.

We are developing a consistent, high‑quality delivery framework to establish a standardised respiratory metagenomic pilot clinical service across up to 30 NHS sites by 2028/29. This work aims to improve patient outcomes by enabling faster diagnostic results and more personalised treatments.
