About this standard


The Foundations of general practice standard addresses the fundamental principles and structures necessary for the effective operation and management of a general practice. This includes:

  • defining strategic objectives and goal setting
  • managing clinical risks
  • ensuring continuity of services
  • minimising environmental impact
  • implementing IT continuity and security measures.

This standard seeks to promote a culture that encourages team involvement, supports practice team roles, and provides appropriate training. These elements form the cornerstone for a well-functioning, viable, and sustainable general practice.
