UCL Medical School Community Visitor sessions: “Living with Genetic Conditions".

On March 6 one of our trustees, Mandy Sanderson, attended UCL medical school to talk to two groups of medical students in their second year of training about 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.    Medical students (and their tutors) learnt about 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, heard about the experiences and challenges of having a child with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and had the opportunity to ask questions afterwards about both the condition itself and healthcare experiences.   Educating and supporting our future doctors supports greater knowledge and awareness of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome across a broad range of clinical and research settings.
