Provision of a short-term outcome evaluation of a competency framework to facilitate and consent patients for genomic testing

We are inviting bids from interested parties for the delivery of an evaluation of the competency framework to facilitate consenting patients for genomic testing. This evaluation will cover short term outcomes only, including: A. Assessing the communication strategy for the framework, including whether potential users are aware of the framework and how they came to learn about it. B. Assessing how services are or are planning to utilise the framework, with a focus on early adopters (e.g. trainers and healthcare professionals that are involved in facilitating and consenting patients for genomic tests). This will include how the baseline level of competence of users is assessed; who the target audience(s) are; and who and what resources are intended to be used to support healthcare professionals to meet these competencies. C. Identifying the additional resources or requirements that service users would request from the GEP to support the use of this framework.
