Why raise awareness? Shedding light on rare diseases is vital. Limited healthcare knowledge leads to delayed diagnoses, while expensive treatments pose financial burdens. Advocacy can drive better resources, research, and quality of life. 💙 #RareDiseaseDay #ShareYourColours

Thank you for the positive feedback. Great colleagues multi-disciplinary working towards diagnoses for more people, more quickly, improving healthcare for children with rare conditions @DrJNurse @CaS_Genomics @SWAN_UK @M4RareDiseases @rarediseaseday 🦓 @UHSFT
Great study day yesterday on 'The Great Genome', hearing from the wonderful @KLachlan and colleagues about how to get the most out of genetic testing. Remember to type those forms. Recall that time my writing was too untidy and I got a rapid gnome! #Genomics
