General practice is the bedrock of the NHS, handling over 90% of patient interactions while receiving less than 10% of the NHS budget. Yet despite its pivotal role, GP services are at breaking point. Practices are operating at full capacity, with increasing demand, workforce shortages and administrative burdens placing an ever-growing strain on the system.
However, despite these pressures, general practice has the potential to deliver more. With the right funding, resources and structural support, it could expand its capacity, improve patient care and play a greater role in reducing pressures elsewhere in the healthcare system.

Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in general practice in England is a multifaceted process that demands attention to detail, robust documentation, and a culture of continuous improvement. To achieve an “Outstanding” rating, practices must not only meet regulatory requirements but also exceed expectations across all areas of patient care and organisational management. This guide provides an in-depth roadmap to help general practices achieve the highest standards in their CQC inspections.
Implementing a new primary care funding formula in England that includes adjustments for deprivation and rurality is expected to improve equity in healthcare delivery by directing more resources to areas with greater need.
