Medical Genetic and Counselling Services Genetic counselling is a process whereby patients and their families are assisted in addressing their concerns relating to the development or transmission of a genetic disorder. Medical diagnosis, prognosis, the genetics and recurrence risks of the presenting disorder, together with providing families with options to deal with their risks and manage the disorder in the best possible way, are the primary aims of our genetic counselling service. The multidisciplinary team consists of medical geneticists, medical officers, genetic counsellors and students in training. To find out more about genetic counselling, click here.
