SHORE-C have a well-established track record in teaching communication skills and in the development and evaluation of intensive workshop materials. We designed and successfully evaluated our TARGET (Talking About Risk in the Context of Genomic Tests) educational programme with clinicians (Fallowfield et al 2019), which we also adapted for use in workshops for nurses (Fallowfield et al 2020). The programmes cover how to best present risk and uncertainty to patients in the context of risk of recurrence results from different genomic tests and managing challenging questions from patients.
