We know that there is a huge amount of innovation going on in general practice around the UK and, together with our partners the RCGP, we want to spread the word about your ideas.
There are six categories covering all aspects of primary care, and a key part of the judging process is to assess whether your scheme would be replicable in similar practices or circumstances.
Once again we are grateful to the MDU for supporting the awards, and enabling us to award cash prizes to all of our winners.
Each category winner will receive a cheque for £1,000 and a commemorative plaque for their surgery. We will then ask the readers of GP magazine and GPonline.com to vote for their overall favourite, who will win a further £4,000 and the MDU Enterprise Award. The overall winner will be presented with their prize at the RCGP’s annual awards day in November 2014.
