Checklists for emergencies in general practice: Participatory design of a quick reference handbook
We have developed the first QRH for General Practice specifically tailored to primary care, co-designed with intended users. Its impact will depend on commitment to consistent use, local leadership and advocacy across GP networks. Further usability testing, evaluation of clinical impact and development of additional checklists are needed, but the GP-QRH has the potential to enhance emergency care and patient safety in UK general practice and internationally.
