Event details
The Genethics Forum is for health professionals - and other interested parties - to discuss and explore difficult ethical and/or legal issues encountered in genetic medicine.
The Genethics Forum takes place three times a year and anyone working in a clinical genetics department is welcome to come along. The meetings are relatively informal in order to facilitate discussion of cases presented from different centres. The meetings usually include a plenary talk on a particular theme of interest, such as for example, a talk by a medical lawyer on the law on confidentiality in genetics. The meetings are multi-disciplinary and aim to have a medical ethicist and an academic medical lawyer present at each meeting.
We are trialling the new virtual format, so there will be no plenary this time around.
Interesting plenaries will be back soon however, so watch this space!
