Description

The Genomics Education Programme (GEP) was established in 2014 following an initial investment from the Department of Health to pump prime genomic education and training activity to support the delivery of the 100,000 Genomes Project. At the beginning of financial year 2018/19 the GEP became part of 'business as usual' within Health Education England (HEE) and, in collaboration with NHS England (NHSE), continues to support the newly launched NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS).

As part of its role in delivering education and training to the NHS workforce, the GEP requires specialist genomics editorial expertise to plan and produce a series of articles on genomics in healthcare that are useful and relevant to our audience groups, to be featured on our website's blog.

HEE is therefore inviting quotations from providers for the service commencing 1 April 2020 for 2 years, with the potential to extend.
