The Clinical Genetics Service

The Clinical Genetics Service has a central department at St. Michael's hospital in Bristol and satellite departments at the RUH in Bath, The Gloucester Royal in Gloucester and Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. When families are referred to the Service, we try to ensure that they are seen by staff from the nearest department. Click on the link for more information about the Bristol Regional Genetics Service including including how to be referred and what to expect from an appointment.

Aims of the service

The Clinical Genetics service aims to provide people affected by, or at risk of a genetic condition with accurate information, counselling support and genetic testing as appropriate to each individual.
