A developing role in genetic counselling.
The valuable contribution made by nurses and social workers employed in genetic services in Britain was recognised by a Clinical Genetics Society Working Party.

Their introduction to the clinical team facilitates the process of counselling and promotes a more comprehensive service for families.
