Quality improvement

Revalidation requires GPs to participate in quality improvement activity once in a revalidation cycle. We have advice and resources to help you to measure and audit your progress:

• Baseline assessment tools give you a snapshot of current practice when guidance is published, and help identify if you need to make changes.
• NICE audit tools provide ready-to-use criteria and data collection tools for technology appraisals, clinical guidelines and selected interventional. procedures and public health guidance. Tailor for general practice by selecting the recommendations and criteria that apply to general practice.
• The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) provides case studies and guidance on involving patients in audit.
• The RCGP provides guidance on quality improvement in primary care, including help with approaching projects.
