GP Appraisal Local Reports and National Overview

About these reports

NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) undertook an external quality assurance (EQA) review of the implementation and management of the GP Appraisal process in Scotland, representing a 12 month period prior to 31 March 2008. Following analysis of each NHS board, local reports and a national overview have been produced.

In 2004, GP appraisal became a requirement to be admitted to and remain on, the Performers List in line with the NHS (Primary Medical Performers List) (Scotland) Regulations 2004. In 2007, NHS QIS established a steering group to initiate and deliver an external review programme to assess implementation and management of the GP appraisal process throughout 14 NHS boards in Scotland.
