As a primary care manager in the UK, ensuring a safe and compliant practice environment is paramount. A crucial element of this responsibility is understanding and managing the NHS Performers List. This list plays a vital role in verifying the qualifications and fitness to practice of healthcare professionals working within primary care services. NHS England recently updated their Performers List Policy so it is a good time to review what it is and why it is important. 

Every year NHS England requires GP Practices to formally confirm that they are prepared to respond to emergencies as an annual assurance process for Emergency Preparedness, Resilience, and Response (EPRR).
