RE-ACCREDITATION of Hospitals

Re-Accreditation of Hospitals in the RANZCOG Integrated Training Program: Standards and Procedures

Background

In 2007 the RANZCOG commences the re-accreditation of hospitals in Australia and New Zealand which have been accredited by the College for the Integrated Training Program (i.e. Years 1 – 4 of specialist training in O&G). The re-accreditation process will involve an appraisal of all 88 of our training sites to determine their effectiveness and will include a site visit to each hospital by a team from the College.

The criteria and objectives of the re-accreditation process, and details of how it will work, are outlined in the document Re-accreditation of Hospitals in the RANZCOG Integrated Training Program: Standards and Procedures. These guidelines have been developed by the Training and Accreditation Committee of the RANZCOG.

To ensure that our re-accreditation process is fair, equitable and widely understood by all stakeholders, the guidelines have been written in consultation with the CEOs and Medical Directors of all our accredited hospitals, RANZCOG Training Supervisors and Program Co-ordinators, heads of hospital O&G departments, and a wide range of statutory bodies, health jurisdictions and midwifery organisations in Australia and New Zealand.

These guidelines were formally approved by the RANZCOG Council on 25th November 2006 and have also been approved by the Health Workforce Principal Committee (formerly know as AHWOC – Australia Health Workforce Officials Committee).
