Quality Practice Award (QPA)
Quality Practice Award (QPA) was developed in Scotland and
launched in 1997 as a UK-wide College initiative. Through
collection of evidence against stretching standards, general
practices are awarded this quality marker. QPA is highly regarded
and indicates a high standard of quality patient care, which is
delivered by every member of the practice team.
QPA is available for practices to undertake throughout the UK.
Enquiries and applications from Scottish practices are dealt with
by the quality team at RCGP Scotland in Edinburgh.
To date in Scotland we have 41 practices working towards
version 8, 9 & 10 of QPA, and 87 practices have achieved
the full award which includes 12 practices achieving
re-accreditation.
