There are considerable advantages for your practices within a PCT/Health Board in co-ordinating surveys and sending them to us for analysis in one batch. The earlier the better, as we are very busy between October and March. Firstly we can produce a set of current, local benchmarks; and secondly the single batch means we can offer a substantial discount to each practice. We would need to talk to practices about streamlining the exercise at an early stage, ideally before questionnaires are printed.

We are very flexible. We can produce overall practice reports only, with individual GP report(s) as required. Questionnaires need to be coded to identify eg individual practicies. We can also offer analysis of the GPAQ Nurses questionnaire at no extra administration cost if we receive everything from the practice as one batch. We can offer:

1. Substantial discounts on our prices for individual practice analysis if we receive all the completed surveys in one batch. Forms obviously must be pre-coded with the practice number, and if individual GP reports are required (see 4 below), by GP number. Nurse questionnaires must be coded numerically by practice, and also by nurse individual reports are required.
   
   Coding is most easily carried out at the printing stage. It saves a great deal of time (and rsi).
   
   
2. We are happy to invoice practices individually,and to send out the reports (see 5 below) to each surgery individually if you prefer.
   
   
3. As well as written reports, each practice receives a copy of their report(s) on CD.
   
   
4. We can produce an overall PCT/Health Board/Area report.
   
   
5. Prices include all royalty obligations to Manchester University.

Do please ask if you have any questions, we look forward to working with you.
