CHAPTER What is general practice?
General practice intheUK
In 948 the National Health Service (NHS) was formed, giving free healthcare for the entire population of the UK paid for by the taxpayer. Its structure varies from country to country within the UK. However, GPs form the ‘front- line’ of the NHS in all four nations, providing primary medical care and acting as ‘navigators’ to the rest of the health/ social care system.
Workload ~97% of the British population is registered with a GP. Patients
register with a practice of their choice— whole families are often registered with the same practice. Once registered, patients stay with that practice for an average of 2y. GPs carry out ~300million consultations/ y in England alone:84% at the surgery, 2% by telephone, and 4% at the patient’s home. 70% of the GP’s total workload is spent with a patient, while >20% is cur­rently spent on administration.
Working hours Standard practice working hours are 8 a.m.– 6.30p.m.
on normal working weekdays. GP days are usually broken into 2‘sessions’, each lasting a notional 4h 0min. Atraditional working day for a GP involves 2 surgeries seeing patients with time for home visiting and administrative work between. However, the UK government has committed to extend routine primary care access into evenings and weekends and dierent models to achieve this are evolving. With these changes, the concept of ‘sessions’ and standard working hours is being lost.
Primary care provider or ‘practice’ Terms used to designate any
organization providing NHS primary care services.
Practice list All patients registered with a particular primary care pro-
vider. Lists may be open (accepting new patients) or, by agreement with the PCO for a set period of time, closed to new patients— E p. 40.
Practice boundaries Traditionally, practices have set geographical
boundaries agreed with their PCOs. The practice only accepts new pa­tients onto the practice list who live within that boundary. Practices are also required to set ‘outer boundaries’ to enable existing patients who have moved home to stay with their practice.
Patient Choice Scheme Since 205, practices in England may accept out- of­area registrations without obligation to provide home visiting services. If too ill to travel to their registered practice, patients can access urgent med­ical care via the NHS  service.
Primary care contracts The provider contract with the local PCO de-
nes services primary care providers will provide, standards to achieve, and payment they will receive. Contract models:E p. 32.
Commissioning Over the past 0y in the UK, mechanisms have
evolved to enable local commissioning of services to meet local needs. Commissioning aims to design improved patient pathways while enabling more ecient use of funds. The commissioning cycle involves:
Planning Establishing what local services exist and what is needed
Commissioning services To match resources to need
Monitoring Ensuring that service delivery meets expectations
Revision Regular review of services to provide best possible care

GENERAL PRACTICE INTHEUK
Primary care/GP networks and federations Multiple practices
coming together in some form of collaboration. Many dierent models are in operation from loose alliances to formation of companies. Working at scale enables sharing of costs and resources, greater exibility, more pro­tection against nancial pressures, and the capacity to oer extended or new services for patients in the community.
Models of care in England The ‘NHS Five- year Forward View’ (204)
set out a blueprint for change in NHS England, setting out 7 new models of more integrated care including:
Multispecialty community provider (MCP) GPs and practices working
together in networks/ federations and collaborating with other health and social care professionals from primary and secondary care to provide more integrated services in the community
Urgent and emergency care networks Emergency departments in
hospitals, working together with GP out- of- hours services, urgent care centres, minor injury units, NHS , and ambulance services to ensure people with urgent care needs get the right level of support in the right place at the right time, making best use of limited resources
Enhanced health in care homes Brings together care home providers,
NHS, and social care services to improve care for this vulnerable section of the community
Primary and acute care system (PACS) Asingle provider or group of
providers working together take responsibility for delivering the full range of primary, community, mental health, and hospital services for their local population
Sustainability and Transformation Partnership/ Plan (STP)
44 covering England. Local NHS organizations and councils working to­gether to draw up a plan to improve health and care in the areas they serve. The plan must set out practical ways to achieve better health and improved quality of care delivery within nancial constraints.
Accountable care systems/ organization (ACS) An evolved ver-
sion of a Sustainability and Transformation Partnership in England. Asingle body— usually comprising NHS organizations ± local authorities— takes responsibility for the entire local healthcare system. This body holds the whole local budget and both commissions and provides services to meet the health (± social) care needs of its local population, taking complete re­sponsibility for resources and population health.
Integrated care in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland
While the ‘NHS Five- year Forward View’ only applies to England, similar changes are occurring across the UK with a move to larger primary care networks of providers, providing a wider range of services over extended hours and oering integrated primary, secondary, and social care.

Becoming a GP intheUK
GP vocational training Involves 3y full- time (or equivalent part- time)
specialty training after the Foundation years; 8mo in selected hospital spe­cialty posts and 8mo as a GP registrar in general practice.
Recruitment and selection There are 2 rounds of GP recruit-
ment each year in the UK. Applications are made online to the National Recruitment Oce for General Practice Training (NRO):
• All applicants meeting GP training entry criteria are invited to sit a
machine- markable test, the Multi- Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA); candidates scoring ≥575 move directly to ‘oer’ stage
• Candidates scoring <575 on the MSRA attend a selection centre at
their preferred location. Selections centres in England are the regional deaneries; Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland each have a single selection centre. Assessment comprises 3 simulation exercises and a written exercise. Following assessment, the highest ranked applicants are oered training places in that area. Appointable candidates without training places can opt to select other areas with remaining places
Criteria for training practices Each region sets its own criteria for se-
lection of practices to train prospective GPs. Practices must have a suitably qualied GP trainer, and demonstrate high- quality administration, clinical care, and commitment/ capability to educate a GP registrar. Details of local requirements can be obtained from regional deanery oces.
RCGP GP curriculum Consists of a single curriculum statement, ‘Being
a General Practitioner’, covering the core capabilities and competences of a GP. This is supported by a series of ‘topic guides’:
Professionalcapabilities
Consulting in general practice
Equality, diversity, and inclusion

BECOMING A GP INTHEUK
Membership of the RCGP (MRCGP) The MRCGP is an examin-
ation of professional competency based on the GP curriculum. Passing the 3 dierent components of the MRCGP is compulsory for all doctors wishing to become GPs in the UK:
Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) 200 multiple- choice questions test whether the candidate can apply knowledge in the context of general practice. Computer­based assessment held at Pearson VUE centres across the UK. Questions are distributed as follows:clinical medicine (80%); administration and informatics (0%); and research, appraisal, evidence- based medicine, and statistics (0%).
Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) Mock surgery in which patients are played by actors. The candidate performs 3 consultations each of 0min duration while being observed by an examiner. Only available at RCGP Euston; takes place in February, May, and November each year.
Workplace- Based Assessment (WPBA) Continuous qualitative assessment of performance in training based on the Trainee ePortfolio (TeP) and trainer’s report. Evidence collected is reviewed ≥×/ 2mo by the deanery Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) panel to ensure the trainee is ready to move to the next year of training.
Certication of Completion of Training (CCT) During training,
on completion of each placement, the clinical supervisor completes an assessment of the trainee’s performance. The GP educational supervisor signs this assessment o as conrmation that there has been satisfactory progress in acquiring the relevant curriculum competencies. The portfolio of assessments is reviewed and endorsed by the deanery at least annually (ARCP review). Submission of this portfolio together with successful com­pletion of the MRCGP enables a GP in training to apply for the CCT via the RCGP certication unit.
RCGP Certication Unit Evaluates general practice training and makes
recommendations forCCTs to the GMC. Anyone undertaking a training programme leading to a CCT should register with the Certication Unit.
Certication of Eligibility for GP Registration (CEGPR) An al-
ternative route for doctors who have completed the CCT programme and passed either the AKT or CSA after leaving the programme, or are not eli­gible for a CCT but believe that their training, qualications, and experience are equivalent (e.g. all or part of their training was outside the UK, or in a non- approved training post). Trainees who begin a 3y planned programme for a CCT and decide to shorten it, by including posts not in their GP pro­gramme, must also apply for a CEGPR. This type of application is more complex and time- consuming than the CCT route. Application is online to the GMC with submission of a portfolio of evidence.

CHAPTER What is general practice?
Education inprimarycare
Education is vitally important in primary care to keep healthcare profes­sionals up to date with both clinical and administrative/ managerial parts of their roles, and to provide career development and direction.
Teaching in general practice Many GPs are involved in teaching:med-
ical students, foundation doctors, GPs in training, new practice sta, and/ or their peers. Teaching can be very rewarding but also brings stresses (e.g. preparation of material). Payments are available to GPs who take medical students, foundation doctors, and/ or GPs in training into their surgeries for teaching and there are a few teaching posts within UK universities for GPs.
0 As a teacher it is your responsibility to ensure you are competent to full the task. Take steps to acquire prociency in teaching skills. Local medical schools often run courses for prospective teachers.

Principles of self- directed and adult learning The learner takes
responsibility for dening learning needs, setting goals, identifying resources, implementing appropriate activities, and evaluating outcomes. Adults are motivated by education that:
Is based on mutual trust and respect
Can be immediately applied in practice
Involves cycles of action and reection
Allows them to take responsibility for their
own learning
Is based on, and builds on, previous experience
Learning style It has been proposed that understanding an individual’s
learning style helps tailor educational activities to be most eective— but this has been contested as we all apply dierent learning styles in dierent situations. Several learning style models are used and relate to personality traits. Examples:
Honey and Mumford’s learningstyles
Activists Get involved, open- minded, enthusiastic
Reectors Stand back, think, cautious
Theorists Look for principles, logical, perfectionist
Pragmatists Practical, experimental, down to earth
Kolb’s learningstyles
Divergers ‘Why’ (concrete, reective)— learn best when they know why
something is relevant and how it will apply to their work
Assimilators ‘What’ (abstract, reective)— learn best when given plenty
of time to think and link dierent concepts in their minds
Convergers ‘How’ (abstract, active)— like to work actively on well-
dened tasks and learn by trial and error
AccommodatorsWhat if’ (concrete, active)— learn best by applying course
material in new situations and solving problems they create for themselves
Continuing professional development (CPD) Aims to help GPs
to provide high- quality patient care throughout their careers. Doctors need to demonstrate that they have up- to- date knowledge across the spectrum of general practice to become a registered GP and then need to show they

Personal development plans (PDPs) Outline areas of knowledge
in need of update and ways those needs can be met. PDPs are an integral part of junior doctor training, GP training, and the appraisal process. Ask:
What you need to learn— specic, measurable objectives (Box .)
Why you need to learn it and how you plan to learn it
How you will know whether you have learnt it
• How your intentions link to past and future learning
Box . ‘SMART’ criteria— learning objectives should be:

Experiential learning— Figure .. Learning through experience is a
continuous process. It is the largest single source of learning for profes­sionals throughout their working lives. To optimize learning, it is important to actively seek appropriate experiences, ask for feedback, relate the ex­perience to your existing knowledge base, and reect.

Appraisal andrevalidation
Appraisal Requires all doctors wishing to practise medicine in the UK to
undergo a formal review on a yearly basis. It is the basis of revalidation to maintain a licence to practise and aims to:
• Set out personal and professional development needs, career paths, and
goals, and agree plans for them to be met
• Review the doctor’s performance and consider the doctor’s
contribution to quality and improvement of local healthcare services
• Optimize the use of skills and resources in achieving the delivery of
high- quality care
• Oer an opportunity for doctors to discuss and seek support for their
participation in activities
• Identify the need for adequate resources to enable service objectives
to be met
Supporting information The supporting information that doctors need to bring to the appraisal falls under 4 broad headings:
• General information— provides context on all aspects of work
• Keeping up to date— maintaining/ enhancing quality of work
• Review of practice— evaluating quality of current practice
• Feedback on practice— how others perceive your work
Based on the GMC’s document ‘Good Medical Practice’, there are six types of supporting information GPs are expected to provide and discuss at the appraisal at least once in each 5y cycle. They are:
Continuing professional development
Quality improvement activity
Review of complaints/ compliments
The Appraiser Responsible ocers of designated bodies are accountable for ensuring appraisal takes place. Appraisers are properly trained to carry out this role and are in a position to undertake appraisal of a doctor’s whole practice, including clinical performance, and where appropriate, specialist aspects of performance, e.g. research, service delivery, or management issues. Appraisers for GPs will generally be other GPs.
The appraisalprocess
Before the interview Doctors must prepare an appraisal document
containing information and supporting evidence about their practice and personal needs. Folders should be submitted to the appraiser ≥2wk prior to appraisal interviews to allow adequate time for preparation. Various electronic toolkits and portfolios are available
At the interview Doctor and appraiser agree a summary of
achievement in the past year, objectives for the next year, key elements of a personal development plan, and actions expected of the organization
After the interview Asummary document is produced and a joint
declaration signed that the appraisal has been carried out properly
Licence to Practise In the UK, the GMC introduced licences to practise
in November 2009. All registered doctors were able to request a licence to practise; all doctors eligible for registration with the GMC since November

APPRAISAL ANDREVALIDATION
2009 have also been licensed. The GMC licence (rather than GMC regis­tration) signies to patients that a doctor has the legal authority to write prescriptions and sign death certicates etc. GPs working in the NHS, either on a permanent or locum basis, need to be:
• Licensed by the GMC
• Listed on the GMC’s General Practice Register
• Included on an NHS Performers List
Revalidation Revalidation was formally introduced in December 202.
All licensed doctors need to be relicensed every 5y.
Process of revalidation Doctors need to provide supporting information that shows that they keep up to date and remain t to practise. GPs are account­able to their local ‘designated body’ and ‘responsible ocer’. In order for responsible ocers to recommend maintenance of a GP’s licence to prac­tise, they need to be satised that:
• The GP has participated in an annual appraisal process that covers all of
their medical practice
• There are no unresolved concerns about the doctor’s performance
Responsible ocer recommendations totheGMC
Positive recommendation The doctor should be revalidated and his/ her
licence to practise continued
Deferral:insucient information Revalidation cannot be recommended
because the doctor has not provided enough information; the doctor will be asked to provide additional information
Notication of failure to engage The doctor has failed to engage with
local systems and processes that support revalidation
The GMC will withdraw a licence topractise if
• The doctor tells them that it is no longer required
• The doctor does not pay the appropriate fee
• The doctor does not take part in the revalidation process when asked
• AFitness to Practise Panel directs that the doctor’s registration should
be suspended or erased
0 Doctors have a right of appeal against any decision to withdraw, or re­fuse to restore, their licence to practise or specialist certicate.
11
H Concerns about performance Any GP with concerns about their
own, or a colleague’s, performance should discuss the matter conden­tially with the secretary of their LMC, the clinical governance lead/ per­formance information manager of their PCO, or the GMC.

GP workingarrangements
Primary Care Performer List List of all doctors deemed competent
to provide primary medical care held by the PCO.
Partnership Traditionally, GPs in the UK have worked as independent,
self- employed contractors providing core primary healthcare services and additional services as negotiated within their contract.
Groups of self- employed contractors working together for mutual benet are termed partnerships. Apartnership can become a primary care pro­vider as long as ≥ partner is a GP. Although traditionally partnerships are made up of GPs only, practice managers, nurses, allied health professionals, and pharmacists can be included within partnerships.
Partners not only have responsibility to provide medical care, they also have management responsibilities for sta, premises, and equipment. Most re­ceive a prot share, so the amount each partner is paid depends not only on income to the practice, but also expenditure:
Income
Income from the NHS GMS, PMS, or APMS contract work
Private work Includes private appointments (e.g. clinical assistant,
industrial appointments); insurance examinations/ reports; private medical examinations and certicates (e.g. HGV licence applications)
Expenditure
Running costs of the practice Sta salaries; premises (rent, rates,
repairs, maintenance, insurance); service costs (heating, water, electricity, gas and telephone bills, stationery and postage); training costs etc.
Capital expenses Purchase of new medical and oce equipment
Salaried GP AGP employed by a PCO, practice, or APMS. PCOs and
GMS practices are bound by a nationally agreed model contract, with a salary within a range set by the Review Body. PMS practices and APMS pro­viders can make their own arrangements. Salaried posts have advantages for those who do not want to take the nancial risk or commit to long- term working within  practice.
Freelance GP or locum Provides medical cover on an ad hoc basis.
Tend to be self- employed and may work independently, or through a locum chambers or agency. Acharge is made for each session worked. Long- term locums should make their own pension provision or apply to join the NHS scheme.
GP with Extended Role (GPwER) AGP doing work that is:
• Beyond the scope of GP training and the MRCGP, and that a GP cannot
carry out without further training, or
• Undertaken within a contract or setting that distinguishes it from
standard general practice, or
• Oered for a fee outside of care to the registered practice population
(teaching, training, research, occupational medicals, medico- legal reports, cosmetic procedures, etc.)
https://t.me/med1917
GP WORKINGARRANGEMENTS
With expansion of care provision out of hospital, increasing numbers of GPs are taking up GPwER roles. Anational accreditation scheme is cur­rently being developed by the RCGP.
GP Registrar E p. 6
Flexible career schemes In a bid to make general practice a better
career option for doctors, in many areas of the UK exible career options are being oered to both GPs just nishing their training and established GPs. Dierent schemes exist in dierent locations, but most combine part­time traditional general practice with another role, e.g. leadership, educa­tion, or a specialist clinical role.
GP Retention Scheme Provides opportunity for GPs who might
otherwise leave the profession to remain working in general practice. GPs are eligible if:
• They hold full GMC registration, are on the Performers List, and want
to change, or have changed, their hours due to caring responsibilities, because they are approaching retirement, or to enable them to take up other work within or outside general practice
• Aregular part- time role does not meet their need for exibility (e.g.
need for short clinics or annualized hours)
• There is a need for additional educational supervision (e.g. pro rata
study leave is inadequate to maintain professional competence)
Retained GPs work – 4 sessions/ wk (of 4h 0min) for up to 5y subject to annual review of eligibility; they receive an allowance of £000– £4000/ y depending on number of sessions worked plus usual pay. Employing prac­tices receive a sum for each session worked (currently £76.92).
