Genetic Interest Group at the Genomics Forum

We are pleased to welcome two new colleagues into the Forum family. Claire Cotterill and Gillian Scott are both employed by the Genetic Interest Group (GIG), but are being housed in the Forum offices. Claire is setting up a Patient Engagement Network funded by Scottish Government following its 2006 Review of Genetics in Relation to Health Care in Scotland. Gillian is GiG's Scottish Development Officer.

They will shortly be joined in the office by Hilary Osborne, who will be employed by the Forum to set up a Scottish Healthcare Genetics Public Engagement Network - also funded by Scottish Government as part of its Genetics in Relation to Health Care initiative.

The arrival of Hilary, Claire and Gillian adds an exciting new dimension to the Forum's public engagement activities.
