Notice Title

Provision of Genomics Educational Articles Service

Notice Description

We require an organisation to deliver 26 educational articles per year as part of a genomics education package delivered to the whole of the NHS workforce. These articles are designed to provide a timely educational summary of the latest applications of genomics in healthcare. They form part of the introductory rung of our 'ladder of learning' educational strategy. A list of proposed topics that give a good spread of article types and areas covered would be agreed with the supplier in advance on a monthly / quarterly basis, with the understanding that the order of topics may shift as and when new developments in genomics emerge. The supplier will manage the editorial process from developing the briefs through to writing and editing. Our in-house team will quality-check the educational articles and ready them for publishing.
