Clinical Genetics specialises in the diagnosis and management of conditions with a known or probable genetic basis. We help individuals and their families to understand their condition and its implications, and their options with regards reproduction, screening, prevention, and management.

We offer wide-ranging clinical services including genetic assessment, counselling and testing for both childhood and adult genetic disorders, including hereditary cancer and non-cancer genetic disorders.

Appointments are available in person, virtually or by telephone, depending on the referral reason.
