On a rare day like the 29th of February, we recognise #RareDiseaseDay with stripey socks! #ShowYourStripes #GeneticCounsellor @SEgenomics @M4RareDiseases
We're hiring! We need family history nurses/genetic counsellors to help run our new, virtual, moderate risk cancer family history clinic! This is the first of what will be 3 posts (awaiting final sign offs). We are a nice team to work with! #GeneChat jobs.stgeorges.nhs.uk/job/v4…

Why does an abstract deadline extension feel like a rejection of the one you submitted on time? I logically know 1 abstract does not a conference make, so it’s an odd way to feel. Emotions are weird. #GeneChat

Trying to decide if Outlook is using some sort of machine learning thing when deciding which auto-responses to suggest. Our newest genetic counsellor is feeling a bit called out by these. #GeneChat

Huh. 10 years? Not sure if I will last for one more with the way things are, but we shall see.

It was amazing to watch #RaquelDurán #sketchnotes during our facilitated patient panel exploring decision making. I loved this concept! It was a really informative day at the Institute of Cancer Research.
Sometimes I forget that the 1st floor is not the ground floor in this country. And then I get myself lost in the hospital I’ve worked in for three years. 🇺🇸 in 🇬🇧

Why do I think members of @NSGCPrenatalSIG might like one of these? #GeneChat

Why is coming up with an appropriate subject line for a patient email sometimes so difficult!?! Especially when it is someone you haven’t met? There is a balance somewhere between “this is important” and “this is terrifying”. #GeneChat
Expat genetic counsel(l)or struggles: Booking international guests for a remote journal club, then realising they go through Daylight Savings Time 2 weeks before we do, so our times are now off by an hour. Here's hoping the schedules still match up! 🤞🇺🇸 vs🇬🇧

I’m picturing a bunch of genetic counsel(l)ors hunting for new genetics facts to wow their partners with. 💕 🧬🥰
Uh oh, time to respond to NY152 and you can’t think of what to say! We have you covered. Valentine’s Day is coming up, and it’s time to impress your bae with some facts about genomics. Study up with our fact sheets and dazzle them with knowledge. go.usa.gov/xtppm

Some Genetic Counsellors specifically exclude CDH1 from their HBOC panels given the challenges in interpreting clinical phenotype in families with no gastric cancer. Will this proposal change any minds? #GeneChat
🟠#CDH1 alert. Proposed Yale criteria for germline genetic testing:
-all patients with diffuse #gastriccancer
-#breastcancer patients meeting the NCCN #HBOC criteria
Sensitivity of 86.6%, much higher than the latest IGCLC criteria. jmg.bmj.com/content/early/20… #HDGC #bcsm
The person running the @genome_gov social media account deserves a raise. Thanks for sharing science AND laughs! #GeneChat
JUST WONDERING IF THIS GENOMIC STUDY USES DATA THAT REPRESENTS DIVERSE HUMAN POPULATIONS. IF NOT, TRY AGAIN.

This sentence has a completely opposite meaning to my US colleagues compared to my UK colleagues.
"I am agreed this needs to be tabled for discussion."

Really enjoying listening to Dame Sue Hill talking about the impressive accomplishments and future goals for genomics in the NHS. Proud to be working with the @SEgenomics on this ambitious product! #FoG2022
