Role of incentive schemes in general practice

Incentive schemes based on clinical indicators have been part of practice income for almost 20 years. Feedback is being sought as to whether these schemes are working, and, if not, what the alternative mechanisms are that could encourage proactive care, outcomes and clinically led quality improvement.

We would like to inform you that there is an open consultation by the government on the Role of incentive schemes in general practice, which we think will be of interest. The consultation was launched on the 14 December 2023, and is due to close at 11:59pm, on 7 March 2024.
