I'm a pushy F1, and I know it. On ward round, I always find myself saying "why are you making that decision ... what does that mean? why why why?"

Because without this, I'd be passively writing plans with no insight. The Foundation Programme isn't a training programme.

Marina & I are both very saddened by the passing of David Moores. He was a loyal Liverpool fan whose dream came true when he was appointed Chairman, & he did a tremendous amount to help the Club. Our condolences go to his family. He’ll be greatly missed by all who knew him. RIP

Fantastic to see Rad51s and BARD1 included in breast cancer risk. Now if only we could test complete breast cancer panels on the NHS!

What an amazing project by Jessica Myring and @sally_shillaker to create the useful clinical resource GPPs for healthcare visitors.

A great example of the collaborative approach and how working together with our mainstreaming colleagues can work so well.

Very true!

Genetic counselors are important in the healthcare space. Not only are they well trained and skilled in genetics, they are able to understand the full picture of what can increase a person’s risk for developing certain diseases. https://t.co/SraSpR8GTE #GCappreciation

Our study results confirmed that the 2020 UK post-polypectomy surveillance guidelines (@Rutter_Matt et al) accurately classify post-polypectomy patients into those who most need & do not need surveillance colonoscopy

Today is Genetic Counsellor Awareness day. Why not take a few minutes to learn about the role of the genetic counsellors, who support patients through genomic testing: https://t.co/8WAbkmhtlU

[BSGM @BritSocGenMed]

Today is #GCAwarenessDay. In the UK Genetic Counselling is a small but vital workforce within the clinical genetics and genomics services. Head on over to @theAGNC to find out more about the Genetic Counsellors and training to become a Genetic Counsellor.

[Vicki Kiesel @VickiKiesel]

It's genetic counsellor awareness day! A day aimed at raising the awareness of this small profession and its utility within medicine.

Fascinating study on unselected endometrial cancer showing 3% due to LS with a higher than expected proportion due to PMS2. Also interesting that 1% had BRCA pathogenic variants- again raising the question of TAH for BRCA carriers
