Our surveyors

Supporting improvement in your practice

Members of the QPA surveyor team are, like us, specialists in general practice.

The QPA surveyor is your peer. They have excellent communication and audit skills. Above all, they are invested in the promotion and leadership of quality in general practice.

As the face of our organisation, our surveyors are driven to ensure each practice receives an assessment that is engaging, fair and founded on the desire to support practices to achieve quality standards.

QPA surveyor teams consist of a lead surveyor: a general practitioner, and a co-surveyor: usually a practice manager, practice nurse, or another non-GP.

Real stories

During the visit, our surveyors strive to offer you a positive, engaging peer review, sharing their own experiences and knowledge, and learning from your practice as well. A survey visit is the practice’s time to shine: an opportunity to demonstrate what you do every day, and the quality care you provide to your patients.

The information returned to QPA by the surveyors reflects how you do things in your practice. The surveyors are key to our understanding of your practice, and in our ability to shape a report that describes how your practice meets the Standards.
