Event details
The CELS (Clinical Ethics and Law at Southampton) research group are hosting a day in conjunction with Lifelong Learning lead by experts from within Southampton.
The theme for this day will be a series of talks about genetic testing and include issues such as: What do my genes say about me? How do we manage unexpected results? What are the limits to consent and confidentiality and genetic testing during pregnancy? This thought provoking study day will provide you with the opportunity to learn and engage in discussion about the current and future possibilities of genetic testing from academics of international distinction.
