<h3>Join our brand new training series – Decoding Diagnostics</h3> In the world of rare diseases, navigating the diagnostic journey can often feel like a complex puzzle.With 72% of rare diseases being genetic in nature, obtaining an accurate diagnosis is crucial for patients and their families. However, the landscape of genetic testing and diagnosis can be daunting, filled with new terminology and processes.Taking place across May and June 2024, our Decoding Diagnostics series will shed light on this journey, providing clarity and guidance to individuals and communities within the rare disease community.Through a series of webinars and discussion sessions, we’ll explore the fundamental principles of genetic testing, delve into the methods and applications available, and provide practical insights on accessing, interpreting and supporting genetic diagnostic results.This free series is primarily for rare disease patient groups, however anyone with an interest in improving their knowledge on diagnostics is welcome to attend. <h4>Please note: this registration page is for part one of the training series only.
