It is an important way for Galway Hospice to demonstrate to our local communities the quality of our service and our commitment to continually improve what we do. Our Operational Quality & Risk Report has been ratified by the Board of Directors.
Galway Hospice’s accreditation and affiliations are also evidence of our focus on quality for our patients, their families and our staff and volunteers. Our accreditation & affiliations include:
This is a quality improvement programme which covers all aspects of healthcare provision, including non-clinical services. We gained our first accreditation in 2010, and have continued with this every three year. The CHKS programme, combined with annual ISO 9001 certification, ensures that our standards of improvement are patient focused and clinically effective. Following our most recent CHKS survey in May 2022, we are proud to announce we have been reaccredited for a further three years.
ISO 9001: 2015 is an internationally recognised quality management system (QMS) standard. ISO 9001:2015 is a standardised framework for a quality management system, regardless of what the user organisation does, its size, or whether it is in the public or private sector. Certification to ISO 9001:2015 provides externally verified assurance that an organisation has a proven systematic and consistent approach to the delivery of a quality management system.
