Future of genetic medicine in primary care

Category Selected quotes
Greater role of genetics in practice and increased demand for genetic care “I think technology will march on and there’ll be a lot more screening tests available. I hope [they] will have a lot more direction attached to them…we will certainly hear more as time passes. “(FG2)
Future applications of genetics care in practice “There are a lot more things to do now then there were two years ago and somehow we managed to do that…. more work in teams, we use allied health professionals … share the load on a number of things…. one way of coping with the increased number of things there are to do…. giving up some stuff too – aren’t we? There are some things that we used to do that [we know] aren’t useful… we lose some things as we gain more knowledge.” (FG1)
