November 14th 2009 was rather a wet and windy day however, nearly 90 BRCA carriers and guests came together from all round the region, sadly no one was able to attend from the Isle of Wight due to the weather conditions, for a morning of education and information sharing. The event was held at the Solent Hotel who had kindly donated a room to us.

Some areas of the Wessex Clinical Genetics Service website are restricted from public access. While we have been issuing details of a generic login for health professionals, we do realise that this is not necessarily as convenient as our previous extranet site.

Therefore we are pleased to announce that if you are accessing our site from the NHS N3 network, you will automatically be given access to the Health Professionals pages, giving you quicker access to the information and resources that you need.
