Inspection teams are larger than before and include clinical experts and other professionals.

The results of each inspection will give you a clear picture of the quality of care in the practice – exposing whether it is providing poor or good care.

Our new approach aims to answer five key questions about the GP practice:

  • Is it safe?
  • Is it effective?
  • Is it caring?
  • Is it responsive to people’s needs?
  • Is it well-led?
