Health Professionals

“ARC helps families reach and follow through the right decisions for themselves. But its influence goes beyond this, to raising awareness, influencing policy and delivering professional education in the sensitive and complex area of prenatal testing.”

Professor Dian Donnai CBE, Academic Unit of Medical Genetics and Regional Genetic Service, St Mary’s Hospital, Manchester.
