Category Winners of the GP Enterprise Awards Announced
18th June 2009
The RCGP, in association with GP Newspaper, is
pleased to announce the category winners of this year’s GP
Enterprise Awards.
The GP Enterprise Awards are presented by the
College in association with GP Newspaper and sponsored by the
Medical Defence Union. The Awards celebrate innovation in
general practice and promote ideas which can be easily adopted by
most GP surgeries or primary care organisations around the UK.
Professor Steve Field, Chairman of the Royal
College of General Practitioners, said, “We are especially proud of
the standard of this year’s GP Enterprise Awards. Busy GP
surgeries need good, easy to apply ideas, which reduce risk to
patients, improve patient care and enhance the overall
doctor-patient experience. Well done to all those who put
forward their suggestions and congratulations to this year’s six
winners.”
Congratulations to all the winners of the GP
Enterprise Awards 2009. Registered GP Newspaper users can learn
