## About this tender

HEE's GPA Competency Framework sets out the standards required for GPAs working in practice or across Primary Care Networks (PCN's). The core competencies cover clinical and non-clinical elements spanning across 5 domains: Care, Clinical, Managing Health Records, Communication and Admin.

The Framework provides an opportunity for GPAs working in GP practices or across PCN's, to develop and evidence the competencies applicable to their role, i.e. the knowledge, skills and behaviours relevant to the GP practice or PCN. Whilst completing the GPA programme GPAs are supported with on-the-job training led by a GP mentor alongside senior healthcare clinicians and practice management, as appropriate.

Whilst accreditation is not a mandatory requirement to practice as a GPA, it can help to increase the individual's confidence, will support future progression, validate their learning, and demonstrate their commitment to achieving optimal standards of practice and improving patient outcomes.

GPAs wishing to receive accreditation must develop a comprehensive, evidence-based portfolio supported by research, practical application, and reflection. Upon successful completion and verification, the GPA will be awarded with a 'GPA Skills Certificate' equating to 10 credits at Level 4.

Dependent on local need, there may be learners who undertake only the three non-clinical elements only. This would still require completion of an evidence-based portfolio. Upon completion and verification, GPAs would be awarded with a 'Certificate of Attendance' or similar, with an option to complete the clinical domains within two years.

All communication shall be via the Portal correspondence facility
