The ‘music of life’ project opened up the ‘Improving communication in genetic counselling’ plenary session at EMPAG (European Psychosocial Aspects of Genetics conference). To an audience of approximately 200 genetic counsellors, social scientists, geneticists, policy makers and educationalists, Anna introduced the project and took questions on the design of the project and plans for evaluation of the films within genetic counselling.

The films were subsequently highlighted on Twitter and available for use around the world. This was the first time the project has been discussed publicly at a conference and was useful for gauging interest and feedback (which was incredibly positive). Evaluation of the films will be completed throughout 2018-2019.
