The GPAQ team

GPAQ was developed under the direction of Professor Martin Roland. Martin is the Director of the National Primary Care Research and Development Centre and Professor of General Practice at Manchester University. He is also a practising GP in a large practice in central Manchester.

GPAQ was developed from the GPAS questionnaire which has been used in our research over the past five years. Nicki Mead, Pete Bower and Stephen Campbell, all research fellows at NPCRDC, have all been involved in the development and validation of these questionnaires. Professor John Campbell of Peninsula Medical School has also contributed to the research we have done on patient questionnaires. Our original GPAS questionnaire was developed from the Primary Care Assessment Survey (PCAS) with the assistance of Dr Dana Gelb Safran. PCAs has been widely used in the United States.

Sylvia Wright is the GPAQ administrator and has been involved in many research programmes at NPCRDC..
