Nidjalla Waangan Mia receives the mark of quality as an accredited practice

Nidjalla has once again received a national award of accreditation, from Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL), the leading not-for-profit provider of general practice accreditation services within Australia demonstrating its commitment to quality and safety within its practice.
 
AGPAL Chair, Dr Richard Choong, said accreditation shows that the practice makes a significant investment and commitment to quality on a day-to-day basis, across all levels of the practice team.
 
“Achieving accreditation is a major achievement for any practice and a clear demonstration that Nidjalla Waangan Mia is striving to improve their level of care to both patients and the community,” he said.
 
“Practices seek accreditation because they want to do their best and view this as another step towards excellence in patient care."
 
To achieve accreditation, a practice team works over a 12-month period to implement the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Standards for general practices. The RACGP Standards provide a recognised national benchmark for general practices and services, and a template for quality care and risk management.
 
Practice Manager, Kerry Cabasi said that it is a rigorous process which reviews all the systems and processes in place to serve clients to ensure they meet the RACGP standards.  Thanks to the whole team for helping Nidjalla reach this goal.
 
“We want community members, nationwide to know that their wellbeing is our priority. By choosing to attend an AGPAL accredited practice, patients know they will get quality and safe care that meets the RACGP Standards.”
