  1. These are responses to the question “On a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 = very incompetent (V.I.), 2 = incompetent (I), 3 = neutral (N), 4 = competent (C) and 5 = very competent (V.C.), how would you rate your current level of competence in referral and utilising results from the following modalities?” Part F: The median (range) of participants’ total score showed they were moderately competent, 16 (6 to 30), expected range = 6 to 30
