My role is quite varied. Two days a week, I see patients in our specialist, nurse-led prostate cancer genetic risk clinic for genetic counselling and genetic testing to investigate genetic changes that increase the risk of prostate cancer; or for a prostate cancer screening for men at higher risk of, or who carry a higher-risk genetic variant that predisposes them to, prostate cancer.

This part of my role is interesting as there are currently no national guidelines regarding the referral of people with prostate cancer and their families to a clinical genetics service. Our team is known for our specialist interest in this area, and we are developing this service alongside the Urology team at The Royal Marsden to provide a flagship prostate diagnostic service specifically for men in higher-risk groups as a commissioned NHS service.
