About this survey

This research is all about connection and so we’d love you to tell us how each film makes you feel.

To read more about our process, have a read of our evidence base page.

Empowering people to make decisions that feel right for them

The ‘Voices of Genetic Counsellors’ film series was developed to explore and convey the work of Genetic Counsellors, highlighting the skills necessary to empower people to make decisions about genetic information that are right for them. The films themselves are a powerful tool for the healthcare profession to draw knowledge about the role and impact of genetic counselling, and the value of research in order to evolve practice.

Behind the Scenes: ‘Voices of Empowerment’

Only Human

Some people are alienated by and distrustful of advances in medical science and research, especially around DNA and genetics.

The majority of the British public feel that scientists should listen more to what ordinary people think. We agree with them. And we research how to communicate better. Which is why we’ve developed this website.

Watch a video, then use the quick-response survey questions to let us know how you feel about it. There’s a range of videos you can watch, in different genres, tones and lengths.

You can also download them all for free and use them yourself.

If you want to join our consortia, contribute, donate or just be part of the Only Human movement then contact Professor Anna Middleton: kavlicentre@educ.cam.ac.uk
