Free Practice Performance Scorecard

A free strategic self-assessment for GP practices ready to review their foundations, identify performance gaps and move from survival to sustainable performance.

The Practice Performance Scorecard is a free diagnostic tool created by NCMC Advisory to help GP Partners, Practice Managers and primary care leaders understand where their practice is now — and what needs focused attention next.

Built around the NCMC Practice Excellence Framework™, this scorecard helps you review your practice across key areas including strategy, QOF, patient engagement, governance, workforce, income, operations, improvement culture and practice foundations.

This is more than a checklist. It is a structured reflection tool designed to support better leadership conversations, clearer priorities and practical improvement planning.

Whether your practice is preparing for a partner meeting, reviewing performance, improving patient engagement, strengthening governance or planning the next 90 days, this free scorecard gives you a clear starting point.
