Certification Standards

Assessment sequence

• Published recognition scope, renewal requirements and complaints process

Evidence expected

• Written workforce and partner agreements
• Training plans, participation records and simulation debriefs
• Defined clinical governance and escalation responsibilities
• Readiness assessment and improvement measures
• Conflict management, appeals and renewal procedures

Recognition with a defined scope
