GPs working within the NHS are required to have their name on the Medical Performers List of a Primary Care Trust (PCT).  Over the next two years, under the Health White Paper, these arrangements will change and it is anticipated that this will transfer to the National Commissioning Board. At Hempsons we are highly experienced at providing advice on the issues that can arise from joining the List and understand the application issues.  We routinely advise on:

• An unsuccessful application to join a Medical Performers List and the procedures and remedies should an application fail.
• The preparation of an application and the general complexity of the application process.
• The threat of a referral to NCAS.
• Advice concerning an adverse report, the potential suspension or permanent removal of a GP’s name from the List.  If such a decision is taken, it will inevitably lead to a hearing to investigate the matter, with a potential appeal to the Family Health Services Appeal Authority to follow.
•  We are experienced in advising GPs in all of the above scenarios and are able to offer advice on all potential PCT related issues you may encounter in your career.
