Healthcare Excellence Awards

General Practitioner of the Year Award

Family medicine at its best.

About this category

This award recognises a general practitioner whose care, accessibility and leadership have made a real difference to their patients and practice. Judges look for patient outcomes, access and contribution to the practice and community.

Eligibility

Open to GPs working in NHS or independent general practice.

Judging criteria

  • Quality of care
  • Access
  • Patient outcomes
  • Practice leadership
  • Community contribution

Qualitative criteria

A doctor patients trust.

Metrics

  • Patient outcomes
  • Access measures
  • Patient feedback and improvements led

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, feedback from patients, service users, families or colleagues. Never include information that could identify a patient or service user: describe cases in anonymised terms and give figures as percentages or ranges. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size of the service, team or organisation, so smaller providers compete on equal terms.
