In Episode 1 of The Ethics Round, we're exploring the ethical challenges faced by health practitioners in helping patients to share information with family members about a genetic condition that may also affect them.

Our guests are Dr Lisa Ballard, a health pyschologist  and clinical genetics physician Professor Anneke Lucassen, from the Biomedical Research Centre, Health, Society and Data Theme at the University of Southampton. Both take part in  research across the universities of Oxford and Southampton that explores the clinical ethical, legal and societal issues involved in developments in genomics and big data in medicine.
