what are the responsibilities of a clinical geneticist
Clinical Genetics is the medical specialty which provides a diagnostic service and genetic counselling for individuals or families with, or at risk of, conditions which may have a genetic basis. Genetic disorders can affect any body system and any age group.
Team work. As clinical geneticists we work as part of a multidisciplinary team with genetic nurses and counsellors (GNCs) and laboratory scientists. GNCs include nurses and midwives who have specialised in genetics and science graduates who have trained specifically in genetic counselling.
