Abstract:
Advances in genetic science are leading to new roles for nurses, midwives and other front-line health professionals. But current educational provision on genetics is insufficient to enable practitioners to develop the knowledge and skills they need. The Department of Health and The Wellcome Trust are jointly funding the development of a strategy to address the problem.
