Happy #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay 🥳 Thank you to our wonderful GC team who continue to work hard to support patients and their families, each and every day! 🧬 👏

[Genomics Education @genomicsedu]

New in our blog: “I’ve heard about #GeneticCounselling, but I’m not 100% sure how it may help my patient.” If this sounds like you, then our #GeneticCounsellor-written short read (for any clinician) illuminates the benefits GCs offer.
