Outside Clinic wins IQIPS accreditation

The Outside Clinic has become the first solely domiciliary service to be awarded a nationally accredited standard for its audiology services.

It was the 60th company to have achieved the Improving Quality in Physiological Services (IQIPS) standard.

Richard Gibson, operations director at the Outside Clinic said the journey to accreditation started in 2015. ‘We were invited to explain the scope and challenges of providing domiciliary services at a meeting of the Accreditation Clinical Advisory Group, UKAS and Royal College of Physicians. Following several years of hard work by everyone involved, we are incredibly proud to be the 60th recipient of IQIPS accreditation, as we were instrumental in helping to shape IQIPS so that it meets the needs of domiciliary patients, who are often very vulnerable,’ he said.
