The voluntary Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) annual reward and incentive programme is for all GP surgeries in England, it has been introduced to improve the quality of care patients are given.
This is done by rewarding practices for the quality of care they provide to their patients, based on a number of indicators across a range of key areas of clinical care and public health.

This web workshop will give an introduction to QOF, what it does and why it is important. Delegates will learn how it works, the indicators, how this is calculated and how they should record the data to understand the QOF process fully.
