General Practice Quality Improvement and Accreditation

Accreditation and Quality Improvement

Our Practice Support team is available to assist your practice in preparing for accreditation and quality improvement in your practice.

The team will assist you with mock surveys, patient feedback, data logging of vaccine fridges and anything else required for accreditation of the practice. We will resource the practice with updated materials from a range of reputable sources, provide training of staff in Triage and Infection Control and Cold Chain Management.

The Division runs a bi-monthly Practice Managers' Network for information sharing and networking with other practices in the Division. All senior receptionists and practice managers are encouraged to come along and meet their peers for a relaxed and informative meeting.

Contact Jennifer Harold at the Division on 02 8884 9444 if you would like to find out more about these services.
