The British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei is honoured to host this special business luncheon inviting Professor Mike Richmond, Professor Tin Chiu (TC) Li, and Professor Stephen Green from QHA Trent Accreditation to speak about Healthcare Accreditation, good management in Hospitals and Clinics, Safety and Quality in Surgery & Obstetrics, infection prevention and control.
How can you be sure that a hospital or clinic is genuinely safe and fit for purpose? Healthcare is only truly safe if hospitals, and the people working within them, genuinely care about what they are offering, and set about doing things properly.
But how can one check this out? Independent holistic accreditation is one way.
QHA Trent is a British accreditation scheme based on UK clinical governance, and an option to the likes of the USA’s JCI (Joint Commission International). Coming from a long British tradition of excellence and innovation in medicine and healthcare that gave the world, among other things, vaccination, antisepsis, penicillin, anaesthesia, vitamins, IVF, the structure of DNA, modern nursing practice and Dolly the Sheep (cloning), QHA Trent seeks to build on this tradition of excellence – as Sir Isaac Newton advised us all, “it is easier to see further when you are standing on the shoulders of giants.”
If accreditation is to be done properly, there are many aspects to consider, and Mike, TC and Steve pick out the three areas of good management, safer surgery and infection prevention and control to illustrate how the job should be done.
