Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted healthcare delivery, including the traditionally face-to-face practice of genetic counselling. Telehealth emerged as an innovative solution, offering remote genetic counselling services while minimizing infection risks. This study evaluates the feasibility of genetic counselling as a telehealth service during the pandemic; focusing on patient satisfaction, session outcomes, and the broader implications for accessibility and efficiency in healthcare delivery. Five cases spanning various specialties were analyzed, highlighting high patient satisfaction and a preference for online counselling. This research underscores the transformative potential of telehealth in genetic counselling and identifies areas for future research, such as privacy concerns and long-term outcomes.
