Past work: Knowledge integration and dissemination

Our website has been the major vehicle for our work in knowledge dissemination, and it will continue to be so in the future.

The main sections of the site that perform this function are:

News page and monthly e-update

Reporting on key developments across multiple disciplines and fields, providing unique analysis, interpretation and comment on news about biomedical science and its policy implications.

The searchable newsletter archive is an unparalleled resource of information about policy development for genetics dating back to 1998.

Policy database

A fully searchable database of publications with relevance for public health genetics policy containing hundreds of key policy documents from 1984 to the present, with brief summaries and links to the full text original where available. Publications included range from patient information leaflets to Acts of Parliament. The database can be searched with free text queries or from a drop-down menu of keywords.

Resources section

Includes educational material such as genetics primers and e-learning resources, a glossary of genetics terminology, our archive of rapid responses to genetics stories in the national press and a selected list of links to external websites.
