In July 2010 we changed how we presented the Genetics Education Update newsletter. Previously the newsletter had been sent out as a PDF attachment via email. It was re-designed as an e-newsletter enabling viewers to instantly see articles and summaries for that edition. The full article was then accessed by clicking a link to the Centre's Blog 'More than Mendle'. If you are interested in receiving this newsletter please send your details to enquiries@geneticseducation.nhs.uk
In Autumn 2010 we also launched our new bi-annual e-newsletter for members of the Regional Genetics Centres. The e-newsletter provides teaching ideas and support for colleagues who deliver genetics education to other healthcare professionals. If you are interested in receiving this newsletter please send your details to robert.newton@geneticseducation.nhs.uk
