Hospital Post Accreditation

How to apply for an Accredited Training Post in General Surgery

Hospitals are to note that the Board or Training Committee may request to delay the review of the post and recommend that the hospital place an unaccredited registrar in the post for 12 months following which a review will then be undertaken.

It is recommended that any logbook data for the new post be captured and is uploaded to your application to assist in the review process.

As per section 8.1.2d of the Hospital Accreditation and Trainee Feedback Regulations, for all new post applications, the hospital must provide at least one Consultant supervised outpatient clinic, with new and follow-up patients, per week except in an Acute Surgical Unit.

Application for new Hospital post/s accreditation for 2024 (potential 2025 accreditation) is now open, noting applications must be completed online and must be submitted no later than 31 March 2024.
