Congrats to @CrellinErin who has received an @AucklandUni June Opie Fellowship to support her genomics research. Ms Crellin is working to better understand #family experiences of #genomic testing, which is now available directly through paediatricians for eligible children.
Very excited that our paper summarising census findings of the Australasian genetic counselling workforce is now out!
We took a close look at workforce diversity, inclusion, inclusive practice, and capacity.
