Taking a change from one GP to the whole practice, sharing your cycle beyond it, and keeping momentum after the first project.
Last reviewed: July 2026. Part of the complete CPD and QI FAQ.
Document the change in a protocol, train the team, audit at one month and three months, and report back at a team meeting. If the change holds, embed it in the practice's standing operating procedure.
Through your PHN, your local GP peer group, the RACGP or ACRRM QI showcase, or a published case study. Sharing benefits the spread of evidence-based change and contributes to your CPD as a Reviewing Performance activity.
Adoption is one team taking up the same change. Spread needs a network (PHN, training program, peer group) and a mechanism (template, training session, written protocol) for the change to travel.
Schedule the next cycle before the current one ends. Rotate the clinical lead. Link the activity to a recurring team meeting. Celebrate a successful change publicly.
