Genetic testing gives you information that no other investigation can: a picture of your inherited risk, your body’s response to certain medications, and the predispositions you may have carried your whole life without knowing.
Around 10 to 15% of most cancers are linked to inherited genetic mutations. Identifying a mutation before cancer develops allows you and Dr Dan to create a personalised prevention or early-detection plan, whether that means more frequent screening, lifestyle changes, or prophylactic interventions.
Genetic testing also reveals how your body is likely to metabolise certain medications (pharmacogenomics), which can guide prescribing decisions and reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
The Cancer Panel (£545) identifies mutations in genes associated with increased risk of hereditary cancers, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer. It provides clear information about the presence or absence of mutations that raise your risk, and personalised risk information to discuss with Dr Dan.
The Extended Cancer, Medication Response, and Heart Panel (£645) covers everything in the cancer panel plus pharmacogenomic testing, which reveals how your body is likely to process and respond to a range of commonly prescribed medications. It also includes cardiovascular genetic markers relevant to heart disease risk.
At The Wright Practice, weight management is not a prescription and a goodbye. It is a monitored programme with regular check-ins, nutritional support, and honest conversations about progress, side effects, and adjustments.
The programme includes: an initial consultation covering your medical history, weight history, lifestyle, and goals; instruction on injection technique; a personalised nutrition plan; exercise and movement guidance; quarterly reviews with Dr Dan or Dr Susan; ongoing support by phone and email; and monthly medication delivery.
A weight loss membership is available at £95 per month (excluding medication and initial consultation), with a minimum commitment of three months.
Dr Dan Wright and Dr Susan Jain take a whole-person view of weight management. Weight gain is rarely the result of a single cause: genetics, hormones, stress, sleep, emotional patterns, and a history of struggling with appetite all play a role. The programme is built around that understanding.
Wow! Dr. Dan was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to my health and well being. I’m so glad to have found him!
I have been going to Dr Wright for a number of years now. He is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, open minded and efficient, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough
I have been a patient of Doctor Dan for some time and continue to consult with him despite having left the UK. Dan has the enthusiasm and energy of a young man, whilst taking the holistic “physician” approach of an old school family doctor, equipped with the most modern insights and technology.
Dr Jain was great. Expert knowledge with practical advice
Yes. Many people with significant genetic variants have no known family history. Testing can provide reassurance or identify a risk that was previously unknown.
No. Genetic testing identifies mutations that increase risk. Having a mutation does not mean you will develop cancer, and not having one does not eliminate the possibility.
Yes. All genetic information is held under strict confidentiality in accordance with UK GDPR. It is not shared with insurers or employers.
In the UK, a voluntary moratorium agreement means most people do not need to disclose genetic test results to insurers for policies below certain financial thresholds. Dr Dan can discuss this before testing.
The cancer panel looks for high-impact mutations in specific genes that significantly raise the risk of certain cancers. The polygenic risk score assesses thousands of smaller variants to produce a statistical risk estimate. They answer different questions and are often most useful when used together.
Yes. The Extended Cancer, Medication Response, and Heart Panel includes pharmacogenomic testing.
Typically two to four weeks depending on the panel.
That is ultimately your decision. If a significant mutation is identified, Dr Dan will discuss the implications for relatives and can provide a summary letter to help facilitate those conversations if you choose to share.
