title: Primary care. Making their marker.
abstract: The performance indicators currently in use are not reliable for assessing individual GPs or identifying poor performers. The practice assessment visit used for GP registrars is probably the most objective system. Primary care groups boards should consider supplying individual GPs with information on their practice in a form which allows them to compare themselves with local colleagues.
