@torr_bethany presenting on BRCA-DIRECT #BRCA #BSGM2022 Clare Turnbull- Prof/NHS Dr BRCA-DIRECT

Bethany Torr presenting preliminary results from the BRCA-Direct randomised study pilot comparing digital and phone pre-test delivery of information and consenting to facilitate mainstreaming of BRCA testing - high uptake with high patient and clinician satisfaction #BSGM2022

Great to be able to share the findings from the pilot phase published in JMG (jmg.bmj.com/content/early/…) and future directions for BRCA-DIRECT.

The amazing George Burghel - جورج برغل from The North West Genomic Laboratory Hub informs audience of #BSGM2022 on novel analytical approaches to improve array-CGH yield. Important challenging work in analysis and classification of CNVs.

Really pleased to be involved with this project with Michael Hubank

In 1 week I’ll be heading to the South Coast for the Cancer Research UK #BigHike marathon. Walking has been my way of trying to rebuild fitness after the pandemic, so this distance is going to be a real challenge! Very grateful if you’re able to support me, and CRUK: fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/beths-big…

Today’s the day! We are just past the half way point and look at the view…

I conquered Cancer Research UK’s #BigHike! Such a challenging day walking 26 miles across on the South Downs way and across Seven Sisters, but a fantastic event with so much support from stewards, participants and the public along the way. Thank you! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/beths-big…

Findings from BRCA-DIRECT digital pathway for #BreastCancer #GeneticTesting being presented this morning at #ESMO23 by Beth Torr brca-direct.org Project from The ICR, Cancer Research UK funded. Michelle Mitchell

Research is essential to improving diagnosis and developing better treatments for genetic conditions. GCs Monica Hamill The ICR and Jon Roberts Genomics England are doing amazing work behind the scenes to make this happen. Jonathan Roberts #GCawarenessday

Great to share findings from the BRCA-DIRECT study with VJ Oncology at #ESMO23 🟣recruited 1140 patients from The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and MFT NHS 🟣 demonstrated non-inferiority of digital information compared with telephone counselling 🟣 high satisfaction with the digital pathway

1st meeting ever on digitalization of genetic counseling. Proud to have so many great colleagues presenting UMC Utrecht Genetica today: Dr Jane Tiller Dr. Yvonne Bombard Dirk K. J.
