The core activity of the role is direct clinical care (DCC) related to General Clinical Genetics, with a possibility to develop a special interest. While the post holder will spend most of their time at the OxGEM base located within the grounds of the Nuffield Orthopaedic Hospital in Headington, clinics in other OUH Hospitals will be undertaken, and the appointee will be given responsibility for providing general clinical genetics services to designated peripheral clinics or regions.

Core aspects of the role include triaging of referrals, seeing cases in clinic (which is currently offered as a blended approach of face to face, video and telephone consultations); offering telephone or letter advice to GPs and other colleagues; and follow up of genetic cases as appropriate by phone, or virtually by notes review and appropriate follow up activity. Other key aspects of the job include participation in multidisciplinary meetings with colleagues outside genetics to support the mainstreaming process and engaging fully with OxGEM departmental meetings.
