Genomics in general practice: the PRECISE path forward
Genomics is moving rapidly into general practice, from helping couples with reproductive carrier screening to guiding families through paediatric genetic testing. For GPs, this brings both opportunities and challenges, how to stay up to date, feel confident, and fit genomics into busy consultations.

As veterans transition from military service, they often face significant mental health challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and adjustment difficulties. Managing these complex conditions requires a holistic, long-term approach, and general practitioners (GPs) are in a unique position to support veterans not only through referrals to mental health specialists but also through evidence-based lifestyle interventions that promote resilience and recovery.
