5. Education

Education is essential for all those working in general practice - whatever their role. For doctors and nurses, continuing education is a requirement to maintain professional accreditation, but even if continuing education is not a requirement, education helps team members think about things in new ways enabling service development.

The importance of education within practices has been recognised with financial incentives within the new GP Contract. In addition to an education allowance contained within the global sum payment (or PMS equivalent), meeting the quality indicators relating to education and training contained within the quality and outcomes framework will result in practices receiving more income if they have a broad continuing education programme for all team members. This section aims to provide the practice manager with the information needed to set up and maintain a comprehensive programme of education for all team members.
