Quality Initiatives
The ICGP Quality in Practice Committee (a Subcommittee of the Education Committee) produces quick reference guides on clinical and non-clinical areas on topics of relevance to general practice. In many instances these guides are produced in conjunction with outside bodies.
The Quality Committee supervises the competition for the annual ICGP Quality Improvement Award (sponsored by Promed). This year's winner is Dr Shónagh Mooney. Click here for details.
