It's Undiagnosed Children’s Day! 🙌 🎈

Many families spend years searching for answers, living with the unknown, without a name for their child’s condition. Please consider sharing this post, taking part in a fundraiser, or donating to support SWAN UK’s work.

DTC genetic tests raise ethical issues, which genetic counsellors @EmmaOd3 and Cliona Carroll will expand on in later talks in this session @annekeluc @eshgsociety #precisionmedicine

Miscarriage is loss and no one should have to power through it at work.

It’s time to change that, we're asking you to sign our petition to ensure for paid time off.

This International Women's Day let’s give women the right to compassionate leave.

Genetic testing waiting lists causing challenges for families. (Boy is it ever!!)
Do hope that funding will be made available to improve the 'Cinderella' of all services - Genetics.

GC’s have to carefully navigate genetic counselling for families who experience sudden death of a baby/young child using skills they’ve built up in GC training & clinical experience. @LullabyTrust discusses the importance of this valuable service. #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay
