Scottish Clinical Genetic Forum
The Scottish Clinical Genetic Forum is a network that aims to help Scotland's four NHS Clinical Genetic Centres offer services that meet patient needs. It aims to help develop innovative, seamless services and to integrate patient and public views into service planning and care guidelines. The Forum regularly includes representation from the four Clinical Genetic Centres, the Genetic Interest Group and Gengage; the National Services Division and the Scottish Government Health Directorates. Other representatives from overlapping healthcare specialities, or patient support organisations participate as appropriate.
