  7. RCGP Practice Support • Began in 2014 with the National Peer Support Programme for practices placed in special measures • Support delivered by a multidisciplinary team of approx. 70 highly skilled advisers/trainers including GPs, nurses, practice managers & pharmacists • Diagnostic and targeted support

  8. Our outcomes • 138 practices supported • 87% of re-inspected practices improved their CQC rating, 80% exited special measures • Significantly fewer practice closures compared to non-RCGP supported practices • An average expenditure of £4,854.47 per re-inspected practice

  9. Our Learning • The commonest root causes for a practice entering special measures were: inadequate clinical leadership, inadequate practice management and professional isolation • Practice insight and engagement with the root cause of their difficulties were key to a successful RCGP outcome
