RCGP statement on GP appraisals - 20 November 2020
On Saturday 21st November 2020, RCGP UK Council approved a motion on GP appraisals. This statement outlines our public position.
The RCGP took a paper to its Council which discussed systems of patient referral. Once it had passed we made the paper into a report Quality Patient Referrals: Right service right time. The report looks at different approaches that are used to review GP referrals to secondary care and whether they meet the standards of a 'good referral.'
We recognise that GPs working in rural areas face particular challenges. RCGP’s Rural Forum plays and important part in highlighting these issues to healthcare policy makers.
