Tool Licences

The SNAP Tools are protected by copyright. A licence is required for organisations using the tool, whether for clinical practice or for research.

Please read the guidelines below before requesting a licence.

The licence is free of charge for healthcare professionals and researchers from non-commercial organisations. Please contact us if you are from a commercial organisation.

Time-limited inspection copies of the Tools can be accessed when you click through to the dedicated UEA SNAP Licencing page.

Licences for clinical practice use

• To secure a licence to use the SNAP Tool within the SNAP intervention in clinical practice (to help patients identify, express and address their support needs) you need to complete the short, free to access, online SNAP training.

• Access the training – click here

• You can then apply for a licence for clinical practice use by clicking on this link

• All staff (and future staff) from your organisation who will deliver the SNAP intervention need to complete the training – but they can do this via the link to the training page after you have secured the licence.

Licences for research use

• If the research is only using the Tools to identify areas of unmet support need in patients, but not to address those needs (i.e. where health care professionals will not be delivering the SNAP intervention in clinical practice), then there is no requirement to complete the online SNAP training (although it can still be accessed and completed if you are interested). You can apply for a licence for research use by clicking on this link

• If the research study is using the Tools to identify areas of unmet support need in patients and to address those needs (i.e. where health care professionals will deliver the SNAP intervention in clinical practice), then this is “clinical practice use”. You will therefore need to first complete the short, free to access online SNAP training. Follow the guidelines above for “Clinical practice use”.
