Is there a professional duty or responsibility to recontact patients for whom providers hold genetic or genomic information? Do patients and health care providers share responsibility for being aware of new developments relevant to the patient\u2019s genome? Do different health care specialties now ordering genetic tests share understandings regarding managing genetic information, which in clinical genetics services is understood to have familial as well as individual implications? These important questions were examined in this research.<\/p>\n

About the project<\/h5>\n

Genomics and genetic tests are increasingly being ordered by medical specialties outside of clinical genetics, such as cardiology, oncology and paediatrics, potentially requiring negotiation of norms and practices with regard to storing and communicating information to patients and their families. This ESRC funded three year project led by Prof Susan Kelly (SPA and Egenis) examined re-contacting in current clinical practice in the NHS; legal contexts and relevant guidelines; ethical issues; and expectations of patients and healthcare professionals. The study investigated the hypothesis that mainstreaming genomics in healthcare should be understood as a social as well as a technological process, and that professional subcultures across specialties will vary with regard to norms and expectations concerning recontacting patients. \u00a0This project contributed significantly to understanding normative, practice and ethical concerns across medical specialties regarding the holding and communication of genetic information to patients (and possibly family members) accounting for innovation over time.<\/p>\n

The outcomes of this project \u00a0extended understanding of the implications of rapid innovation in and mainstreaming of genomics for healthcare professionals, patients and families, as well as contributing more broadly to understanding implementation processes in health care. The data and analysis provided robust evidence to inform the development of an ethical and professional framework on recontacting patients as genomic technologies are increasingly integrated across areas of medical care. Importantly, the research from the project contributed to the recommendations of the European Society of Human Genetics on Recontacting, the first international guidelines in this area, which are shaping practice in this field globally.<\/p>\n
