Yr Athro Marion McAllister
(hi/nhw)

Cadeirydd Personol

: Ar gael fel goruchwyliwr ôl-raddedig

Rwy'n gwnselydd genetig cofrestredig (EBMG), gyda PhD mewn Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol o Brifysgol Caergrawnt (1999), ac roeddwn yn Gyfarwyddwr Rhaglen ar gyfer yr MSc mewn Cwnsela Genetig a Genomig ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd rhwng 2011 a 2023.

Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn grymuso cleifion, a hanes nodedig mewn ymchwil cwnsela genetig. Nod fy ymchwil yw gwella sut mae gwasanaethau geneteg glinigol yn ymateb i anghenion teuluoedd â chyflyrau genetig. Datblygais a dilysais Fesur Canlyniadau Adroddwyd ar Gleifion newydd (Sba Canlyniad Cwnsela Genetig le GCOS-24) ar gyfer gwasanaethau geneteg clinigol, sy'n dal buddion cleifion wedi'u cysyniadu fel grymuso cleifion. Arweiniodd hyn at fy niddordeb mewn grymuso cleifion yn fwy cyffredinol, ac rwyf hefyd wedi cyhoeddi ymchwil ar rymuso cleifion mewn clefyd cronig. Ers ei gyhoeddi yn 2011, mae GCOS-24 wedi'i gyfieithu i'r Iseldiroedd, Daneg, Corea, Portiwgaleg, Sbaeneg, Swedeg a Japaneaidd ac mae'n cael ei ddefnyddio i werthuso gwasanaethau geneteg glinigol yn ymarferol, ac ymyriadau newydd mewn ymchwil yn y DU ac yn rhyngwladol.

Roeddwn yn Gynghorydd Addysg i Fwrdd Cofrestru Cwnselwyr Genetig y DU (GCRB, http://www.gcrb.org.uk) rhwng Ionawr 2012 a Ionawr 2018. Mae'r GCRB yn sefydlu, yn cynnal ac yn gwella safonau ymarfer mewn cwnsela genetig i sicrhau diogelwch y cyhoedd yn y DU a Gweriniaeth Iwerddon. Roedd fy rôl GCRB yn cynnwys safonwr academaidd arweiniol yn y 'diwrnod marcio' blynyddol, pan asesir portffolios a gyflwynwyd ar gyfer cofrestriad GCRB ar gyfer cynnwys academaidd, gan sicrhau bod portffolios yn bodloni QAA Lefel 7. Roeddwn yn aelod o Fwrdd Geneteg Feddygol Ewrop (EBMG) (https://www.eshg.org/408.0.html) rhwng 2017 a 2020.

Mae'r Raddfa Canlyniad Cwnsela Genetig (GCOS-24), y Mesur Canlyniadau Adroddwyd gan Gleifion newydd a ddatblygais ac a ddilysais yn ystod fy Nghymrodoriaeth MRC (2007-10), yn cael ei ddefnyddio i werthuso geneteg glinigol a gwasanaethau cwnsela genetig yn y DU ac yn rhyngwladol, ac fe'i defnyddir hefyd mewn ymchwil. Mae GCOS-24 wedi'i gyfieithu i'r Iseldiroedd, Daneg, Corea, Portiwgaleg, Sbaeneg, Swedeg a Japaneg. Mae fy ymchwil presennol yn canolbwyntio ar wella sut mae gwasanaethau geneteg glinigol yn ymateb i anghenion cleifion a theuluoedd y mae cyflyrau genetig yn effeithio arnynt. Rwy'n hapus i weithio gyda chydweithwyr rhyngwladol ar ymdrechion i gyfieithu ac addasu'n draws-ddiwylliannol ar y raddfa canlyniadau cwnsela genetig a'r raddfa canlyniadau genomeg i'w defnyddio mewn ieithoedd / diwylliannau eraill. I'r rhai sydd â diddordeb yn y gwaith hwn, dyma rai erthyglau defnyddiol:
