“…The establishment of core competences is currently being used as a basis for health professional education in many other fields and settings. [14][15][16] It was therefore agreed that a pragmatic and workable solution would be to describe and agree, by consensus, a set of core competences that could apply to health professionals in Europe, whatever their national setting. This could provide an appropriate framework for establishing minimum standards of preparation for health-care professionals in genetics across national boundaries.…”

International audienceThe use of genetics and genomics within a wide range of health care settings requires health professionals to develop expertise in order to practise appropriately. There is a need for a common minimum standard of competence in genetics for health professionals in Europe but due to differences in professional education and regulation between European countries, setting curricula may not be practical. Core competences are used as a basis for health professional education in many fields and settings. An Expert Group working under the auspices of the EuroGentest project and European Society of Human Genetics Education Committee agreed that a pragmatic solution to the need to establish common standards for education and practice in genetic healthcare was to agree a set of core competences that could apply across Europe. These were agreed through an exhaustive process of consultation with relevant health professionals and patient groups. Sets of competences for practitioners working in primary, secondary and tertiary care have been agreed and were approved by the European Society of Human Genetics. The competences provide an appropriate framework for genetics education of health professionals across national boundaries and the suggested learning outcomes are available to guide development of curricula that are appropriate to the national context, educational system and healthcare setting of the professional involved. Collaboration between individuals from many European countries and professions has resulted in an adaptable framework for both pre-registration and continuing professional education. This competence framework has the potential to improve the quality of genetic healthcare for patients globally

“…To maintain the highest standard of quality care in an ECE program, the National Association for the Education of Young Children is recommending that programs have and implement a written agreement with a health consultant (www.naeyc.org/academy/stan dards/standard5/standard5A.asp). Public health nurses with pediatric experience have the skills to become health consultants (Evers, 2002;Wold, Gaines, & Leary, 2006). Based on our experience with the Linkages Project, pediatric nurses who want to be child care health consultants can follow these recommendations: first, attend a continuing education training program based on the NTI for Child Care Health Consultants' curriculum to learn the skills needed to address the health and safety needs of young children in ECE programs, ECE regulations and standards, and how to collaboratively work with the ECE community (Cianciolo et al, 2004;Gaines et al, 2004).…”

Objective Evaluate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) of public health nurses (PHNs) related to the eight Domains of the 2011 Quad Council Competencies for Public Health Nurses (QCC‐PHN). This manuscript is Part 2 of an exploratory study published in the Public Health Nursing journal on PHNs' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and application of the Quad Council Competencies (Harmon et al., 2020). Design In this mixed‐method descriptive research study, the multisite team conducted an online survey among a convenience sample of 296 PHNs to determine differences in KSA for each of the eight QCC‐PHN Domains. Measurements Analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing revealed differences in KSA for the QCC‐PHN, Domains. Post‐hoc tests and qualitative thematic analysis of PHNs open‐ended comments were used to provide additional data. Results ANOVA results showed significant differences in knowledge and skills in all Domains and a significant difference in attitude in only one domain, Domain 7. Post‐hoc test results showed significant differences in KSA between position titles for most Domains. Conclusions Recommendations include using the QCC‐PHN to standardize the professional and diverse roles of the PHN workforce.
