No, accreditation is an improvement journey and we do not expect services to be ready when they register. Services should register with the programme as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the support avaliable, which includes:
> attendance to training sessions to help prepare your service for accreditation
> access to the webiste including the full set of standards and evidence requirements
> access to the resource library, which contains examples of best practice and downloadable templates
> access to bespoke support from the operational and clincial team to support your service.
