Event objectives:

1. To evaluate the applicability of the Health Behaviour Change Competency Framework for clinical health service commissioners and providers.
2. Gather feedback from clinical health service commissioners and providers to shape and strengthen the support given in the future.
3. Reach a consensus across clinical health service commissioners and providers about which competencies are important, and if any needed to be added.

The "Health Behaviour Change Competency Framework (HBCCF): Competencies to deliver interventions to change lifestyle behaviours that affect health", was developed by Diane Dixon and Marie Johnston in 2010. It was developed for anyone working in health behaviour change, but its primary focus is on face-to-face delivery.

We are aiming to evaluate the applicability of this framework for clinical health service commissioners and providers. We will use the responses from this survey to feed into this online event, and to shape and strengthen the support given in the future.

The event's aim is to reach a consensus across clinical health service commissioners and providers about which competencies are essential/desirable/not required, and if any need to be added. This feedback will be used to revise the HBCCF as required to make it a useful tool for use within public health and clinical health services, and then to define how it aligns with other competency frameworks.

A behaviour change competency framework can be used by the clinical health service commissioners and providers in the following ways:

• Developing job descriptions
• Developing service specifications
• Defining training needs
• For self assessment with frontline teams

Within the survey we would like you to think about your role, and consider whether in your work, or the services you commission or deliver, each competency is essential, desirable or not required. For those competency topics you judge to be either essential or desirable you will be asked to indicate how often you needed to use it in the last 12 months.

This survey will take 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for taking the time to complete it.

We look forward to seeing you at the event where we will share the results from the survey and capture your feedback.
