New facilities
Initial scope of accreditation report
Following the on-site assessment, the facility/service will be issued an accreditation report.
Nonconformances will be detailed in the accreditation report if the facility does not meet all of the requirements outlined in the accreditation standards for initial assessment. These nonconformances must be resolved in order to receive a provisional accreditation award.
Awarding provisional accreditation
The provisional accreditation award is valid for two years from when the facility/service successfully meets all the nonconformances outlined in the accreditation report.
