RAP releases new standards


Your views and suggestions are needed on part one of Radiology Accreditation Programme (RAP) Standards.

The SoR and Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) have jointly developed a set of service standards as part of the Radiology Accreditation Programme (RAP).

The programme will lead to the establishment of a professionally-led, patient-focused accreditation scheme to meet the needs of radiology and diagnostic imaging services across the UK.

The RAP builds on the experience of accreditation schemes in the USA, Finland and Australia. It is expected that these standards will prove useful in their own right, setting out what should be expected of a good service, as well as forming the basis for the accreditation scheme.

The SoR and RCR are now inviting your comments and suggestions on the standards.

To take part in the consultation, visit the SoR site.

Completed feedback forms should be emailed to: standards@rcr.ac.uk.

Responses must be submitted by 5 September 2008.
