The Jnetics Clinic
We offer an online carrier screening service for young professionals who haven’t been tested at school or university and are beginning to think about their future family.
Jnetics on Campus
We deliver 'University Screening Week', a week-long online carrier testing event for UK-based students with at least one Jewish grandparent.
Jnetics in Schools
We educate and test sixth form students in all eight mainstream Jewish secondary schools across the UK.
Testing for BRCA
Currently, testing is only available on the NHS for those who are eligible. Eligibility is based on several factors and can be explored with your GP.
From early 2023, the NHS plan to launch a programme where anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent will be able to access free NHS BRCA testing.
