Management of lists of primary care practitioners
PCTs maintain lists of primary care professionals who perform primary care services for NHS patients in their areas. A practitioner must be on such a list to perform services for NHS patients. The list system is a framework within which independent practitioners are regulated by the NHS, quality is improved, and the tiny minority of professionals whose fitness to perform the services is in question can be helped or removed. Get information and advice about the system by using the links below.
