About
In June 2017 the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) entered a strategic alliance with Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership (equivalent to STPs in other parts of England) covering 480 practices in the Greater Manchester area, to provide expertise to the GP Excellence change programme.
The objective of the GP Excellence programme is to support practices through every stage of quality improvement, from ‘Rescue’ stage to sustained quality ‘Excellence’. GP Excellence will cultivate cultural transformation and will take time to embed, with RCGP involvement required for up to 3-years.
The GP Excellence website hosts information, resources and tools for each stage of improvement and for all members of the practice team, across all of the projects as outlined. Importantly, the portal provides a peer support network, sharing good practice and innovations across the region.
