RCGP Bright ideas portal
December 2015
The College has developed a ‘Bright ideas’ portal, where GPs can send us examples of the innovative work their practice is engaging in. We want the innovative work in general practice to be recognised, celebrated and shared, we hope that this will inspire other GPs to both take up practices which have been successful elsewhere and encourage them to start innovative practices themselves.
