Class 2 Information: What we spend and how we spend it
How we are funded by the NHS
The five partners in the practice (named above), operating as The Calverton Practice, are contracted to offer Primary Medical Services with NHS England. In addition, the Practice receives some income from Nottingham North and East Clinical Commissioning Group (NNE
CCG) of which we are a member. Further information regarding how GP practices are funded may be accessed via the Department of Health website: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health
What we spend and how

In the financial year which ended in April 2014, the total NHS turnover for the Practice was
£1.74 million. In any given year, the Practice incurs expenses which include staffing costs, premises upkeep, administration costs, costs for professional fees, medical supplies and depreciation.
Some of the services we offer fall outside the scope of what is covered by the NHS (e.g.
Reports for Insurance Companies, Occupational Medicals) and the charges we levy for these are in line with British Medical Association (BMA) guidance. A list of these charges is available on our website and from Reception.
Class 3 Information: What our priorities are and how we are doing
Our Priorities
To provide the best possible healthcare with the resources available to us
To serve the communities of Calverton, Woodborough, Oxton and Epperstone and the surrounding areas to the best of our ability and to offer high quality, patient centred medical services to our patients living in these areas
To pursue robust and honest fiscal management of the monies paid to us by the NHS
To work to improve quality of life for our patients living with long term and complex health conditions
To help all our patients live longer and healthier lives
To adhere to our charter with patients
To provide a safe and supportive working environment for all our staff
How we are doing: Performance Information and Audits
General Practice is much more transparent than in previous years and as a result much of the information regarding how the Calverton Practice is performing is already in the public domain (available on the NHS Choices website: www.nhs.uk
and the NHS Health and Social
Care Information Centre: www.hscic.gov.uk
). The Calverton Practice is continuously monitoring its achievement against a number of quality markers including the Quality and
Outcomes Framework (QoF), which is a tool for measuring how well we are looking after our patients with long term and complex conditions. In the 2013/2014 year, we have achieved almost all the clinical targets available. Internally, we perform regular audits to make sure that we are delivering optimal and up to date care to our patients. We also comply with local and national audits to improve the provision of healthcare across larger populations.
We complete annual returns to ensure that our Information Governance processes are appropriate and fit for purpose.
How we are doing: Inspections and Reviews
The Calverton Practice is periodically inspected by a variety of agencies to ensure we are meeting our responsibilities to the NHS and to our patients. In 2013 we had an Infection
Control inspection conducted by Public Health England which has helped us re-focus our efforts on providing the most hygienic and safe environment we possibly can for our patients and staff. During 2015 we will be inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)

who will be investigating how well the Practice measures against their quality indicators. As part of our routine administrative functions we carry out annual Fire Risk Assessments and
Health and Safety Risk Assessments.
How we are doing: Plans for the Development and Provision of NHS Services
We are continually working to develop and provide a broad and high quality service for our patients. In 2014/15 we are again taking part in the Quality and Outcomes Framework and in addition will be signing up to provide enhanced services including:
Anticoagulation Management
Prostate Cancer Care
Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs Management
Learning Disabilities

In addition, as part of our Primary Medical Services Contract, we are able to offer in-house
Physiotherapy to our patients.
