Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I complete a conflict of interest once assessor(s) have been assigned?

    Once a service has requested an assessment, the operational team will review the request and complete the service readiness check alongside the assessment eligibility check. Once both have been completed, we will propose an assessment team.

  • Is accreditation transferrable?

    No, accreditation is awarded to a service and not able to be transferred to a different service. If a service changes organisations, a new registration and assessment will be required to be accredited...

  • The website has an error, who do I contact for help?

    Please take a screen capture and send an email to the office team via askiqils@rcp.ac.uk One of our operational team will take a look and assist.

  • Who should be involved in the accreditation process?

    It is strongly recommended that the service leads (clinical and non clinical) work together with key representatives of the service to complete the self-assessment. It may also be appropriate to include a patient group representative. It is important to have a cross-section of individuals involved to achieve an accurate assessment of the service and the challenges faced, and to help support ongoing action plans to improve the service.

  • How much does a level 2 assessment cost?

    The cost of an assessment is covered in the annual subscription (link to subscription information). The only cost for the service on the site assessment day, is tea/ coffee refreshment and lunch for the assessment team. A further subscription may be payable if a service requires a bespoke assessment, or if a service cancels an assessment within 4 weeks of the agreed date.
