Up one levelClinical Genetics
Clinical Genetics is the diagnosis and management of genetic disorders affecting individuals and their families. The rapid increase in understanding of biological variation and its role in health and disease make it an exciting and expanding specialty. The training programme in clinical genetics is four years as a Specialist Registrar and research experience is actively encouraged. Entry requirements are general professional training and MRCP or equivalent – see curriculum. Clinical genetic services run on a ‘hub and spoke’ principle with central and district counselling services. There is close team working between Consultants, SpRs and Genetic Associates as well as interaction with cytogenetic and molecular laboratory colleagues. Members of the SAC in Clinical Genetics welcome queries from those considering a career in clinical genetics.
