General Practice Assessment Questionnaire:
GPAQ V3 - now available - encompasses Directed Enhanced Service (DES) for Patient Participation through local surveys.
Many practices will want to use GPAQ again. GPAQ V3 has been updated to include changes GPs might want to see in GPAQ.
In its usual short four side format, GPAQ continues to ask about receptionists, appointments, opening times, communication with doctors and nurses, continuity of care and enablement. There is just one version which can be used either in surgery or as a postal questionnaire.
GPAQ was originally developed as a research tool at the National Primary Care Research and Development Centre (NPCRDC) Manchester University. The NPCRDC closed at the end of 2010. Administration for GPAQ has now moved to Cambridge University.
Copyright for the questionnaire is held by Cambridge University and Manchester University. Individual practices may download and use the questionnaire for their surveys adapting it if required, provided that acknowledgement is given ie the copyright statement is included, and provided the GPAQ questionnaire is not used for commercial services other than those for which it is licensed.
