Description
Over the last few months there have been
significant changes to the expectations and
requirements for General Practitioners in
several areas of their practice. In particular, the
New GMS Contract aims at increasing the
quality of care and is measured with quality
markers. If the quality markers are achieved,
GPs are awarded points, which are then
translated into increased practice profit.
However, it is all too easy to fall into the trap of
fulfilling the criteria without drawing any
conclusions or acting upon them.
