QPA costs
The cost of QPA to practices including the
assessment visit and the plaque is as follows. Please note the same
costs apply to practices seeking re-accreditation.
- £3,600 for practices with a list size of less
than 5,000
- £3,900 for practices with a list size of
greater than 5,000
- List size is taken at the time of submission
of your ‘Notice of Intention to Apply’. (NIA link)
- £1200 of the fee is payable at the time of
submitting the ‘Notice of Intention to Apply’.
- The remainder is due when the written
evidence is submitted.
Practices that have been unable to complete
QPA within their initial time frame can transfer to the most current version. The
cost for this is £200 and covers administration costs, this is a
non-reimbursable charge.
Cheques should be made payable to the Royal
College of General Practitioners and for further information
contact your
regional office.

Group and Joint Practice applications
Depending on the practice structure, group
practices may be subject to a modified QPA costing.
Costs for joint practice applications can
vary. This is based on the workload the QPA adviser has to manage
during the QPA process. It will also include the additional
workload that the assessment team will have to carry out.
Joint practice submissions are likely to incur
an extra cost if:
- The practice domains and criteria covered
in QPA are different or require independent evidence.
- The practices are administered
separately. Joint practices may be asked to pay a fee of one and a
half the normal cost of QPA at the deposit (NIA) stage. When the
balance is this will include the additional expense of a
one and a half day assessment visit.
