Genetic Counsellor Registration Board
» Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Genetic Counsellor Registration Board (GCRB).
The purpose of the GCRB is to establish, maintain and improve standards of practice in genetic counselling to assure public safety in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
It seeks to achieve this through accepting responsibility in three primary areas:
The vision of the GCRB is “ensuring expertise to serve families with genetic conditions”.
In 2019 the GCRB register was transferred to the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS). A GCRB Board Member sits on the AHCS Healthcare Science Registration Council and Genetic Counsellors who have met the GCRB assessment criteria are now included in the AHCS public register of Practitioners accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accreditation means that the AHCS has met the Authority’s demanding standards in respect of governance, setting standards, education and training, managing the register, providing information and complaints handling. For more details about PSA accredited registers click here.

We welcome feedback on our website please contact enquiries@gcrb.org.uk
For further information on a Registered Genetic Counsellor (RGC), check the REGISTER. The Register also includes those RGCs who currently have mentor status.
