@IsbisterJoanne kicking absolute goals in the psychiatric genetics space here in Australia ✨

[Joanne Isbister-Smith @IsbisterJoanne]

Our next webinar is scheduled for Wednesday 6th March, 7-9pm AEDT. Join us online as we explore how genetic counsellors can contribute to the mental health space with guest speakers Dr Maie Walsh, Dr Tori Miller and I discussing the role of genetics in psychiatry 🧠 🧬

Thanks to @IsbisterJoanne and the RMH team for organising 🧠

A case for genomic psychiatry got everyone talking at our webinar… how will we address this challenge? 🤔 A really excellent presentation by @dmorenodeluca & Molly Goldman who are leading the way to understand the unique & diverse worlds of people on the autism spectrum! 👏👏 👏

Thank you @GCAustralasia & @LEForrest for creating a brilliant space to celebrate our diverse & inclusive local practice 🤎. So many talented GCs thinking BIG & doing “better”as @J9_Austin shared - “do the best you can until you know better.Then, when you know better, do better.”

[Joanne Isbister-Smith @IsbisterJoanne]

Wishing all my Australian colleagues a very happy #GCAD2023! We have a unique and privileged role in healthcare to give voice to the unheard - especially those individuals living with mental illness. For me, this is the most rewarding part of my job 🧁🧬🧠 @GCAustralasia

[Matt Tschirgi, CGC @Matt_Tschirgi]

This panel on intersectionality is absolutely incredible. No amount of tweeting (X’ing?) can effectively communicate the heartbeat of the panel. Thank you to those who agreed to be a part of this.

@GCAustralasia - let’s have this initiative at HGSA, so much fun and such good mindfulness during a busy week 🧵 #NSGC23 #RareBear

[Josh @JoshSchultz16]

Absolutely loved the Professional Issues Panel: How to “Widen the Frame” and Bring Intersectionality to Genetic Counseling Practice. Incredibly inspiring and thought provoking #NSGC23

[Joanne Isbister-Smith @IsbisterJoanne]

Incredibly grateful to be awarded a clinical services grant from @UniMelb MGC program to improve local practice in psychiatric genetic counselling along with the very wonderful @JoshSchultz16 for his work in implicit bias. Watch this space in 2024 as we create more opportunities.

[Joanne Isbister-Smith @IsbisterJoanne]

I will be travelling to Canada to attain knowledge and experience in psychiatric genetics to improve patient care and quality of service at @TheRMH

I could not have done this without the significant support of @TheRMH J L Frew Travelling Fellowship.

We are making a difference!

[Joanne Isbister-Smith @IsbisterJoanne]

Did you know?

You can refer patients with a personal and/or family history of psychiatric illness to @TheRMH for genetic counselling.

Genetic counsellors help people understand the cause of their illness.

Welcome to the first Research Thursday of 2023! Tonight we're sharing this thread from @_Steph__White_ about a new paper from her PhD research into genomics in the palliative care setting, an important look into existing policies and where change could help families and providers

[Peter Mac Research @PeterMacRes]

It is well known that #BRCA1 & #BRCA2 genes increase the risk of ovarian and breast #cancer but there are many more inherited genes responsible for cancer. @LEForrest and A/Prof Paul James from @PeterMacCC discuss the impact and how research is helping address this. listen below

🚨New paper alert 🚨 DOI:10.1159/000527963

While our previous work explored health professionals' views about intergating genetics into palliative care, here we examined the policy environment📜

Spoiler: only 3% of policies included a recommendation about genetics in PC 1/

[A/Prof Laura Forrest PhD @LEForrest]

There’s nothing quite like collaborating with a super motivated #geneticcounselor who knows there’s a gap in our practice and gathers the evidence to start addressing it.

@IsbisterJoanne, you’re a 🌟
