Genetic counsellors work in a multi-disciplinary team alongside doctors and nurses, to help diagnose and manage genetic conditions. They also work with patients and families to help them understand how genetic information can impact their lives. This includes educating them about their family health history, types of inheritance, disease management and genetic testing. Genetic counsellors also provide psychosocial support and counselling to guide patients and families into making informed decisions and adapting to their genetic risk or conditions.
