Our work

We work on a variety of issues that families and individuals with genetic conditions face. We aim to provide information, support families and influence the services needed by these patients. We also work to add patient voice into debates that matter to our community. Our work falls into different categories: reproductive techniques, diagnosis, medical research, healthcare and delivery, access to treatments and living and education.
