Third Annual European DNA Day Essay Contest for High School Students. Deadline: Sunday April 25, 2010
Last call for submission of new techniques in diagnostics for the EuroGentest ESHG Satelliet meeting in Gotenborg Sweden 2010. For submission of your technique Please visit our Web site "Call for technology".
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.
The aim of the survey presented here was to collect and analyse information on how genetic counselling is performed in reality in different parts of Europe. In particular, we wished to obtain an insight into the extent and quality of pre-test genetic counselling and informing of patients. This will help us in creating tools for the quality assessment of genetic counselling. In the survey, we approached health care professionals at the moment when they received a DNA test result. We asked questions about the information/counselling related to that specific case. In addition, more general questions related to genetic counselling were asked.
