A division of the NSW Health Education & Training Institute, the CGE aims to promote the responsible and effective integration of genetic technologies into healthcare and public policy. It serves as a hub for healthcare professionals, educators, and the general public, offering up-to-date information and guidelines on genetic testing, counselling, and the ethical considerations involved.
In collaboration with UK charity Medics 4 Rare Diseases, the RArEST project developed a series of eight modules designed to introduce health professionals to principles for high quality health care for people living with rare disease. Infused with the perspectives of those with lived experience, this eLearning will equip you to consider the common challenges shared by those living with rare disease.
