Lucinda is a fabulous genetic counsellor who I was lucky enough to study with back in 2004. Lucinda was granted a Churchill Fellowship in 2016. She spent a number of weeks visiting clinical genetics services in the USA and UK in 2017 and the report, which Lucinda authored is entitled “To gain a strong evidence base for counselling patients about whole genome testing - USA, UK”.
