Resources

You have access to a variety of resources via the menu on the left of this page. Information Pages are being developed just now and we plan to add more in the coming months.

Our Learning Resources are divided into 5 subject areas:

Basic principles in genetics

Family history and genetic counselling

Antenatal screening and the newborn

Cancer genetics

Paediatrics and genetics

Under each subject you will find useful learning objects such as animations and factsheets, for you to view, download and print out. 

Additional information, including links to many other websites, can be found under Related Resources.


Evaluation and Feedback

When you download a learning object from the ScotGEN site you will be invited to give us feedback on it. This will enable us to make changes or create new learning objects, as required.

A  feedback form will be sent by email 4 weeks after you have downloaded the learning object.

We also provide a regulated Message Board, which we encourage you to use. (You must be registered with ScotGEN to have access to this).
