We investigated the effect on these rates of establishing satellite genetic counselling clinics for families with paediatric conditions in South East Scotland. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Families offered appointments at a clinic at the regional paediatric hospital were compared with those offered appointments at a satellite clinic at a local district general hospital. Both groups of families were more socially deprived than the general population (regional clinic p &lt; 0.001, satellite clinics p&lt;0.05), and in both groups attendance rate at first appointment was 88% and inversely related to social deprivation. There was no evidence of greater attendance amongst more deprived patients at the satellite clinics compared to the regional clinic. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> Our study found no evidence that the establishment of satellite clinics for genetic counselling in South East Scotland increases attendance by families with paediatric conditions in lower socio-economic groups. This suggests that factors other than clinic location determine referral and attendance rates, and these may include understanding of the reason for referral and the advantage of attendance. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1258\/rsmsmj.55.1.10","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,16]],"date-time":"2011-03-16T22:08:12Z","timestamp":1300313292000},"page":"10-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Paediatric Referral and Attendance Rates for the Clinical Genetics Service in South-East Scotland - a Comparison of a Regional Clinic with Satellite Clinics"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Sm","family":"Holloway","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics Unit, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh, EH4 2XU"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ak","family":"Lampe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics Unit, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh, EH4 2XU"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wwk","family":"Lam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics Unit, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh, EH4 2XU"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-RSMSMJ.55.1.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjc.6601348"},{"key":"bibr2-RSMSMJ.55.1.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10689-007-9132-1"},{"key":"bibr3-RSMSMJ.55.1.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.51.1.52"},{"key":"bibr4-RSMSMJ.55.1.10","first-page":"162","volume":"48","author":"Carstairs V","year":"1990","journal-title":"Health Bull"},{"volume-title":"Carstairs scores for Scottish postcode sectors from the 2001 Census.","year":"2004","author":"McLoone P.","key":"bibr5-RSMSMJ.55.1.10"},{"key":"bibr6-RSMSMJ.55.1.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10689-008-9184-x"},{"volume-title":"Fertility variations in Scotland: actual, expected and ideal fertility.","year":"2007","author":"Wasoff F","key":"bibr7-RSMSMJ.55.1.10"},{"key":"bibr8-RSMSMJ.55.1.10","first-page":"322","volume":"27","author":"Epstein CJ","year":"1975","journal-title":"Am J Hum Genet"},{"key":"bibr9-RSMSMJ.55.1.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.66.3.268"}],"container-title":["Scottish Medical Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.10","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.10","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,3]],"date-time":"2025-03-03T07:04:17Z","timestamp":1740985457000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.10"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,2]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.10"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/rsmsmj.55.1.10","relation":{},"ISSN":["0036-9330","2045-6441"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0036-9330"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2045-6441"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,2]]}}}
