Book excerpt: There is a growing interest among general practitioners in reviewing the quality of their performance in a stable peer review group. Review of this kind implies taking a critical look at one's own performance, learning from others and gradually developing common policies towards the various aspects of health care. This handbook offers practical and flexible methods of assessing quality and of furthering that quality by peer review. Groups are led through the review process in a number of stages which, as it were, run through a cycle spiralling back to the starting point. The process can then be repeated as often as is wished. These stages run as follows: Recording Performance. Comparing records. Making underlying principles explicit. Underpinning and refresher training. Setting performance criteria. New cycle. By following these stages the members of the group can structure the exchange and comparison of their work experience, and then establish what they consider the most desirable course to follow - the performance criteria and agree on the changes in their methods of tackling the matter under review necessary to meet these criteria in the future.
