RCGP Quality Network
The RCGP Quality Network exists to support GPs and practice
teams in improving the quality of care and the standard of
services. In doing this we plan to build on our existing quality
initiatives to continue meeting the needs of the profession by
developing tools and projects to support patient and public
involvement in general practice, appraisal and revalidation and
clinical governance.
Out of Hours Audit Toolkit
An Out of Hours Audit Toolkit has been
produced to monitor and improve out of hours services. It is an
independent toolkit produced by experienced clinicians who have
first hand knowledge of commissioning and providing out of hours
services.

Patient consultation on the Quality & Outcomes Framework
(QOF)
The NPCRDC, University of Birmingham and the
RCGP have produced a leaflet that explains what the Quality and
Outcomes Framework (QOF) is and how patient groups and
organisations can suggest ideas about what could be included in the
future versions of QOF. It provides information about the QOF
scheme so people can decide whether they want to argue that it
should be extended to new patient groups and/or have new elements
added to current areas.
