Although each of the Clinical Genetic Consultants sees all categories of referral, each has one or more areas of special interest. This may be an area of research or particular expertise and experience, and is shared between the Clinical team as a whole to provide a wide knowledge base.

 

Dr P Turnpenny is the lead for:

Dysmorphology
Clinical Governance

and has a special interest in:
Skeletal Dysplasias
Fetal Anticonvulsant Syndrome

 

Dr Carole Brewer is the lead for:

Cancer genetics
Audit

 

Dr Julia Rankin is the lead for:

Neurogenetics

 

Dr Emma Kivuva is the lead for:

Prenatal genetics
Peninsula Medical School

 

The Genetic counsellors also have different areas of experience, but again, generally see all categories of referral and use their varied backgrounds as a resource within the team.

The Clinical team meet regularly with the laboratory molecular genetic and cytogenetic teams, based in Exeter and Bristol, to share knowledge and expertise.
