Step by Step Approach to PMS Contract Re-Basing
We have analysed a London PCT’s PMS re-basing approach, and developed it into a step by step ‘how to guide’ which can be used by other PCTs to secure better value for money in line with the 2006 Directive.

GP Contract & Performance Management
We have reviewed, developed and helped negotiate a London PCT’s GP performance framework. We have produced a GP Contract Performance Policy in line with GP regulations and good practice about improvement, to help the PCT Team do systematic contract monitoring.

GP Access
We are providing expertise to a London PCT to produce and implement an Access Development Programme. The aim is to find the right balance between ensuring value for money ‘in hours’ and evidence-based extended access, so our approach is bottom-up.
