What we do

Myth Busting
Key areas of work within the GP Support Team
Our Approach

Scoping

Providing an objective snapshot of your practice at a point in time, we highlight good practice and identify areas for development. Our scoping process involves the following:

  • Scoping visit – where we meet with and listen to all practice team members
  • Scoping Report – including findings and recommendations
  • Report Discussion Meeting – an open discussion of the scoping findings
  • Ongoing Support – for example reviewing processes and governance, facilitation, team development, partner support

Support Level Framework

6 Domains to Aid Discovery

Completing the Support Level Framework (SLF) can have significant benefits for you, your practice, the staff and service delivery. It will enable you to:

• Identify key improvement areas: get a clear picture of where support is needed.

• Align your plans for next year: ensure your practice is on good footings and ready for upcoming improvement opportunities

Case Studies

Case Study 1: ‘Practice concerns around financial stability’
Case Study 2: ‘Supporting and strengthening a new leadership team’
