best practice and areas for change, encouraging the continued development of the clinical service.</p></h3> <p>The RCP has a long history of driving up high quality care by setting standards against what good practice should look like. The Accreditation Unit at the RCP manages a range of accreditation programmes, with the aim of improving the quality, safety and experience of patients and improving service delivery.</p> <p>We do this by developing standards with a multi-professional group of clinicians, managers and patients and working to an accreditation pathway which involves self-assessment and聽improvement against the standards. Accredited services submit evidence annually to demonstrate that they are continuing to meet the standards and have a 5-yearly on-site assessment carried out by our experienced assessment team.</p> <p><em>The Accreditation Unit also supports the quality assurance process and certification of endoscopy trainee practitioners.</em></p> </div> <div class="text-block__image-col text-block__image-col--image-hide"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="link-cards top-bottom-spacing"> <div class="container-xl"> <div class="link-cards__info"> <h2 class="link-cards__info-title">Our accreditation programmes</h2> <h3 class="link-cards__description"><p>The Accreditation Unit manages accreditation programmes in a number of clinical services, including:</p></h3> </div> <div class="link-cards__cards"> <div class="row gx-0"> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4"> <div class="link-cards__card colour-theme-hover-tint-mint"> <a href="https://www.thejag.org.uk/" target="_blank"> <h4>Endoscopy</h4> <p>Joint Advisory Group on gastrointestinal endoscopy (JAG)</p> <i class="fas fa-arrow-up-right fa-fw"></i> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4"> <div class="link-cards__card colour-theme-hover-tint-blue"> <a href="https://www.qpids.org.uk/" target="_blank"> <h4>Primary Immunodeficiency</h4> <p>Quality in Primary Immunodeficiency Services accreditation scheme (QPIDS)</p> <i class="fas fa-arrow-up-right fa-fw"></i> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4"> <div class="link-cards__card colour-theme-hover-tint-mint"> <a href="https://www.iqas.org.uk/" target="_blank"> <h4>Allergy</h4> <p>Improving Quality in Allergy Services (IQAS)</p> <i class="fas fa-arrow-up-right fa-fw"></i> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4"> <div class="link-cards__card colour-theme-hover-tint-blue"> <a href="https://www.iqils.org/" target="_blank"> <h4>Liver</h4> <p>Improving Quality in Liver Services (IQILS)</p> <i class="fas fa-arrow-up-right fa-fw"></i> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4"> <div class="link-cards__card colour-theme-hover-tint-mint"> <a href="https://www.prsas.org/" target="_blank"> <h4>Pulmonary Rehabilitation</h4> <p>Services Accreditation Scheme (PRSAS)</p> <i class="fas fa-arrow-up-right fa-fw"></i> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4"> <div class="link-cards__card colour-theme-hover-tint-blue"> <a href="http://www.dcap.org.uk/" target="_blank"> <h4>Inpatient Diabetes</h4> <p>Diabetes Care Accreditation Programme</p> <i class="fas fa-arrow-up-right fa-fw"></i> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-block top-bottom-spacing colour-theme-"> <div class="container-xl"> <div class="row text-block__row text-block__row--image-hide"> <div class="text-block__text-col rte-wrapper"> <p>Within our JAG endoscopy accreditation programme, we support the delivery of high quality and standardised training for endoscopists as well as the endoscopy workforce.
