GP Incentives and Telephony Changed for Covid-19 Booster Campaign


NHS England has issued details of the changes to GP incentives to support the Covid-19 vaccination campaign. Some QOF incentive payments will be based on prior years performance. Other funds are diverted to the Covid-19 vaccination campaign provided all practices in a Primary Care network sign up to participate actively by 10th December. The changes persist until April 2022.

Additionally NHS England had made arrangements with Microsoft for the telephony facility of Teams (that is telephony over broadband) to be usable for outgoing calls by GP practices until April 2022, thereby freeing up phone lines for in-coming calls.

Details are given in the attached document.
