The role of the genetic nurse has evolved historically with the emergence of clinical genetics in the field of health care. During 1994, a Practice Working Party was convened by the Genetic Nurses and Social Workers Association in response to discussion about the role of the nurse within and between regional genetics centres. The Working Party conducted a study of the current nursing practice and attitudes of nurses and clinicians to the nursing role, as a basis for future discussion and planning for educational needs. This paper describes the role of the genetic nurse within the United Kingdom and offers suggestions for assessment of competency. Strong themes emerging from respondents' comments include the need and desire for multi-professional team work, and it is apparent that most respondents felt the families' needs would best be served by a skilful combination of medical and nursing input, rather than adherence to traditional roles.
随着临床遗传学在医疗保健领域的出现，遗传护士的角色在历史上不断演变。1994年，遗传护士与社会工作者协会召集了一个实践工作组，以回应关于护士在区域遗传中心内部及之间的角色的讨论。该工作组对当前的护理实践以及护士和临床医生对护理角色的态度进行了研究，作为未来讨论和教育需求规划的基础。本文描述了英国遗传护士的角色，并为能力评估提供了建议。从受访者的评论中浮现出的强烈主题包括对多专业团队合作的需求和渴望，显然大多数受访者认为，熟练结合医疗和护理投入，而不是坚持传统角色，能最好地满足家庭的需求。
