Quality Team Development (QTD)
Consider it for your practice, as well as being a useful process in itself it will help provide evidence of team working for re-validation

Quality Team Development is an initiative developed by the RCGP which offers a supportive approach to clinical governance. It enables primary care organisations (PCOs) and primary health care teams to identify developmental needs and also facilitates the sharing of good practice within the PCO.
| QTD uses
self-assessment, patient questionnaires and peer review to enable
practices to reflect on the quality of service they offer to patients and
on how they work together as a team. This enables practice teams to
identify areas of good practice as well as areas for improvement, and also
identifies development priorities.
The process of QTD is as follows:
|
|
The PCO
registers for QTD and practices that wish to sign up to be involved in the
process
The process is cyclical, with the
practice self-assessment, patient questionnaire, visit and development
plan stages being repeated every two to three years
