Synopsis

'Quality in the New GP Contract is essential reading for GPs practice managers and practice nurses alike. It will help them understand the background to its structure and what to do to achieve the quality requirements. It will also be useful for PCOs to assist them in moving to individual practice contracts. This book identifies the resource implications for PCOs and the personal requirements of the suitably qualified staff they need to employ or train. Dr Spooner brings an academic rigour and a close personal insight into the development of the quality criteria of the new GMS contract. He comprehensively reviews the issues around the relationship of clinical governance to the quality contract. This book will provide public health departments with a mass of information that should aid the reduction of inequalities in access and quality of services as well as targeting primary and secondary prevention. I commend this book as a significant tool in the implementation of the new GMS contract and the modernisation of primary care' Dr Tony Snell Medical Director Birmingham and the Black Country Strategic Health Authority
