Resources
You can access a variety of resources using the menu on the left of this page. The Information Pages are being developed to provide information of particular relevance to all levels of student, from high school to masters. We plan to add to this over the coming months, so please check back to see what is new.
Our Learning Resources are divided into 5 subject areas:
Family history and genetic counselling
Antenatal screening and the newborn
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 website 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.
Please contact us if you would like to make any comments about the site. All your comments are welcome and will help us tailor the site to your needs.
We also provide a regulated Message Board, which we encourage you to use. (You must be registered with ScotGEN to have access to this).
