Dear NASGP,
What a great site!
I’m the GP clinical governance lead for our PCT.
I needed information about NPs. I found it!
Regards,

You've come to this page because you're not a Sessional GP. If you're a patient/citizen/member-of-the-public
you then you really ought to be here.
So, now we have your attention, if you are on this page you're
either someone big in a PCT/Health Authority/Practice or a GP Principal. Either
way, you're most welcome.
You may
find these links of interest:
- Sessional GP Support Teams
- This is our latest plan - its what Sessional GPs want
(especially Freelance GPs) and its what PCTs need (Bromley PCT have had one
running for 2 years already).
- Standardised Practice Induction Packs
- Don't let your Freelance GPs/new-partners/registrars spend
their first few weeks floundering around in the dark. Provide them with
this standardised template of all the
essential bits of non-clinical information they need.
- Clinical IT Systems
- ALL GPs should have a unique and confidential username and
password in every practice where they work; in this section you'll find the
guidance for this.
- Need a crib sheet for your EMIS/Vision/GPASS/Microtest/iSOFT
system to pass on to your Sessional GPs? They're all here!
-
Complaints
- If you receive a complaint about a Sessional GP, don't
just ignore it! If there's a problem, we want to know about it! See here
on how to involve Sessional GPs in local complaints
procedures.
-
Managing Poor Performance in
Sessional GPs
- OK, so none of us are perfect. We gave a talk to the
RCGP's national conference on Managing Poor Performance in GPs in
January 2002.
- Code of Good Practice
- It's nice to know you're on a level playing field, and
that's why Code's of Practice are so handy - you know more or less where
you stand. So why not take a look at this
and encourage your staff and your Sessional GPs to try and work to this
excellent document, endorsed by the Royal College of General
practitioners.
- Freelance GP Contracts
- How many times has a Freelance GP turned up, only for there to
be 5 minutes of discussion and negotiations because neither of you were
clear about what each other expected from that session? See our section
on a draft Terms of Engagement
for Freelance GPs and practice managers.
- Sessional GP Groups
- It can be lonely out there - rare glimpses of other
GPs, kept in the dark about local clinical guidelines, don't have a clue
what's happening locally. So its great to meet up once a month with
other Sessional GPs. If you don't have one nearby, help your local
Sessional GPs by setting one up.
Simple to do, and we've produced a document especially to help.
- Performers Lists
(previously
Supplementary Lists)
- Confused as everyone else? See our section
on lists to hopefully shed a little more light on the matter.
- Do you need a list of local Sessional GPs? Our
registration with the data Protection Act allows us to pass details on
to an individual's Health Authority for such purposes. Please write
to us on your authority's headed paper.
- Engaging local Sessional GPs
- Brent PCT have produced a
useful letter
which you could adapt for your PCT.
- Feedback
- We need to know what sort of things you'd like to see
on this site. Please let us know.
