Preconception Carrier Screening at the Erasmus MC

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Inherited Genetic Conditions

In brief

Rationale A recent advisory report by the 'Health Council' has recommended that all prospective parents should have the opportunity to undergo preconception carrier screening. Consequently,there will no longer be any prerequisites for referring a couple. It is expected that there will be an increase in the number of prospective parents seeking counseling for preconception carrier screening. This is anticipated to result in an increase in the number of referrals, leading to several points of attention. Objective(s) The aim of the research is to gather insights, perspectives, and experiences from healthcare professionals and prospective parents in order to design a care pathway for offering preconception carrier screening at Erasmus MC and the Rotterdam region. This will also include examining the role that nurse practitioners can play in this offering.
