Having trained as a molecular geneticist and genetic counsellor, she now holds leading roles in genomics education, including Education and Training Lead for NHS East Genomics. We chat about her transition from bench to bedside, the role of genetic counsellors and the challenges of genomics education within the NHS and among the wider public.
