The ECTAS accreditation process incorporates elements that
research has demonstrated to be effective in bringing about quality
improvement.
After joining ECTAS, a clinic is given access to the online
review tools. The clinic then embarks on a 12 month
review process, which incorporates:
- Self-review, including a case note audit, patient
questionnaires and staff questionnaires
- A one day peer-review visit by an external team
- Recommendation of accreditation status by the Accreditation
Advisory committee
- Ratification of accreditation status by the Royal College of
Psychiatrists Education, Training and Standards Committee
Accreditation is awarded for 3 years from the point of peer
review, subject to satisfactory completion of an Interim Review at
12 months.
