Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine

The Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine (JCGM) was first established in 2001 as the Joint Committee on Medical Genetics.

It is a joint committee of the Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath), The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and the British Society for Genetic Medicine (BSGM), with representation from other royal Colleges, patient organisations and the Department of Health.

The initiative to form this joint committee arose from a desire to be able to present a unified stance for genetics in medicine. 

The administration of the committee resides with the BSGM. Please visit this page for more information.
