Instrument for internal assessment of the quality of genetic counselling within a genetic counselling clinic
We invite all genetics clinics in Europe and elsewhere to use this instrument for self assessment of their work. Our recommendation is that the clinic staff does the evaluation together, documents the outcome and repeats the exercise for instance once a year to monitor the progress. Newly-established clinics may find the standards helpful also in estimating the need for resources. (upd.18 Feb 2010)
