How the awards were decided
The GP Enterprise Awards are jointly organised by GP newspaper and the RCGP, and supported in 2009 by the MDU. This awards scheme is uniquely concerned with publicising ideas from grassroots practices that can easily be replicated by other GPs to improve their working lives.

Thanks to all of those practices that entered - you made the judging a very difficult but very rewarding experience. The only downside was that we were not able to make the Environmentally Friendly Practice award this year, having decided that no single entry was able to meet all of the judging criteria.

Many thanks to those GPs and lay representatives who freely gave their time and expertise to the judging process. The judges were: Dr Has Joshi, vice-chairman of the RCGP; Antony Chuter, vice-chairman of the RCGP's Patient Partnership Group; Dr Karen Roberts, a GP in Suffolk and a clinical risk manager at the MDU; Dr Paula Hensler, medical editor of Haymarket Medical Media and editor of the MIMS Specialist Journals; Colin Cooper, editor-in-chief of Haymarket Medical Media.
