Welcome to the first ever Haresign Consulting newsletter.

Welcome to the first ever Haresign Consulting newsletter.

I have built this newsletter as a way of sharing useful, practical content for general practice managers, partners and primary care teams without adding more noise to already overloaded inboxes.

The aim is simple: share articles, tools and ideas that help practices understand their data, strengthen their evidence, prepare for CQC, manage workload and make better operational decisions.

This first edition brings together some recent articles and resources from Haresign Consulting, including workforce trends, CQC readiness and practical approaches to using data properly in general practice.

Thanks for being part of the first send — hopefully the first of many useful, slightly nerdy, practice-management-focused updates. 😊

New tools now live

Alongside the latest articles, I have also started building practical tools designed to help practices turn national data and operational evidence into something more useful locally.

NWRS Workforce Trend Tool

The NWRS Workforce Trend Tool helps practices review workforce movement over time, rather than treating NWRS as a monthly return that disappears once submitted.

It can support conversations around GP reimbursement evidence, WTE changes, workforce pressure, patients-per-WTE ratios and whether local workforce records align with national submissions.

CQC Returning to Good Tool

The CQC Returning to Good Tool is designed for practices that need to move from action plans and evidence folders into a more structured improvement model.

It helps frame what needs to be evidenced, what needs to change operationally, and how practices can demonstrate that improvements are embedded rather than simply documented.

These tools are not intended to replace local judgement. They are there to support better questions, clearer evidence and more confident practice management decisions.
