Quality Initiatives

The ICGP Quality in Practice Committee (a Subcommittee of the Education Committee) produces impact documents and guidelines on clinical and non-clinical areas on topics of relevance to general practice. In many instances these documents are produced in conjunction with outside bodies.

The Quality Committee supervises the competition for the annual ICGP Quality Improvement Award (sponsored by Aviva). Application has opened for the 2010 award.
