MAG-SUDOE genetic counselling mentoring intervention shows strong potential in a pilot action in Portugal
One of the key actions within the European project MAG-SUDOE, was the implementation of a pilot action, recently concluded with Genetics healthcare professionals in Portugal. The main goal was to test the feasibility, acceptability and early impact of a structured mentoring model in genetic counselling. Genetic counselling is becoming increasingly important in personalised medicine. At the same time, it is emotionally demanding work. Professionals face complex diagnoses, sensitive family situations and difficult decisions every day.
MAG-SUDOE addresses this challenge by proposing as a source of resilience the implementation of professional mentoring as a structured tool for reflexive practice, support, continuous learning and well-being. The pilot in Portugal allowed this approach to be tested in real clinical practice.
