World Congress on Genetic Counselling (Virtual Conference)

To encourage a global audience of professionals interested in genetic counselling, registration for this virtual conference will be free. The programme will explore, empirically, what is at the heart of genetic counselling. We will focus on professional and leadership issues in genetic counselling, including cross-cultural counselling, reaching traditionally underserved populations, and ‘mainstreaming’ of genetic counselling the wider health service. We will discuss how counselling and sociological theory can influence genetic counselling practice and will involve genetic counsellors who are leading their own research.
