nNow we need to focus on the quality of our services
Accreditation schemes in diagnostics
Imaging
Endoscopy
Pathology
Physiological Sciences
What have we done so far?
Agreed the process for quality improvement and accreditation
Developed, consulted and piloted the standards and criteria
Developed the material beneath the standards (in some disciplines this is still progress)
Developed and piloted the Self Assessment and Improvement Tool (SAIT)
Raised the profile of quality in physiological science services
Appointed an accreditation preferred provider (UKAS)

Scoring mostly B’s
Upload evidence
Experts and lay assessing service against the standards
Assessors will either approve for site visit or suggest an action plan
If pass this requires maintenance
Under discussion possibly - a four year cycle with a yearly SAIT census
Outcome may be; pass, conditional accreditation or deferred
The standards
Development began late 2009 (based on ISAS standards)
Specialism specific working groups and the cross-discipline Accreditation Clinical Advisory Group (ACAG) were formed
Grounded in evidence and outcome based standards and material were drafted by ACAG and the working groups
The material was piloted
A public consultation has been carried out

Summary of AQP timelines published for adult audiology services:
• have submitted an application for IQIPS accreditation by 31 March 2012
• have completed the IQIPS Self Assessment & Improvement Tool for adult hearing services by 30 June 2012
• be IQIPS adult hearing service accredited no later than 31 September 2012

What’s next?
• Launch the SAIT – audiology in March, phased across other disciplines
• Recruit assessors• Train assessors (3 day residential course) • Launch of Accreditation in Spring 2012
Why bother?
• Local leverage/Raising the profile • Validate and recognise success • Driving up quality • NHS Choices – information for patients• Any Qualified Provider• Promote sharing of good practice• Bringing together services• CQC and equivalents• Interest from commissioners• Evidence for CPD/revalidation • Political drive
Any questions?
