General Practice Non-Clinical Development

In General Practice, non-clinical and management roles equate to 50% of the workforce. The GPNC Development project aims to offer accessible training and development to all General Practice non-clinical and management staff, to enable long-term recruitment and retention goals and create meaningful development pathways.

The objectives of the project are

  • To provide a development path/framework to support and develop the non-clinical workforce within general practice
  • To provide a development path/framework to support and develop the management workforce within general practice​
  • To catalogue sustainable and fit-for-purpose core training and education to support non-clinical and management development paths​
  • To make this portfolio of core training accessible and sustainable in the long term

This will support our aim to

  • Increase retention of GPNC staff as they feel valued, recognised and their work understood​
  • Increase GPNC opportunity, engagement and participation in training and education
  • Collaborate with system and regional colleagues on approach and delivery of GPNC training and development​

General Practice Non-Clinical Development Pathways

Our Management and Leadership and Non-Clinical development pathways aim to provide a visual framework, which describes how staff who are working within general practice non-clinical roles might move between different stages throughout their career journey.

We know that practices and PCNs can be structured very differently, therefore these pathways are not aligned to a particular staffing model. Neither are they designed to be hierarchical. Instead, they set out a selection of example roles that sit within different areas of the general practice non-clinical environment, to suggest what development or progression might look like as someone’s expertise, competencies and levels of responsibility evolve.

The development pathways can be used as a tool to support 1:1 and appraisal discussions. They may also be used as a supporting resource alongside the One Care self-assessment development framework.
