QOF year-end 2023/24 update

Posted on:

The purpose of this update is to assist practices to prepare for key activities supporting QOF 2023/24 and 2024/25 schemes. 

Introduction

Under the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), GPES collects for NHS England information about General Practice (GP) achievements which is used within CQRS to calculate the GP payments for the current financial year, and to set the aspirational payments for the following year.

QOF achievement information will be collected on 1st and 2nd April 2024. Other QOF reporting collections run throughout the year, but these are not related to payment.
