Helderberg Hospice, one of two members of the Association of Palliative Care Centres (APCC) that have proudly maintained their five-star accreditation, has demonstrated its commitment to high standards in palliative care.
Helderberg Hospice has achieved a 97% score in it’s sixth accreditation; its first was achieved in May 2006.
“In addition to focusing on clinical compliance, the accreditation process assesses criteria across the entire organisation, including areas relating to governance, fundraising, administration, and human resources,” says Robert de Wet, CEO of Helderberg Hospice.
“Subjecting your organisation to an intensive external accreditation process is important as it serves to both affirm the positive aspects of the work we do, and simultaneously makes us aware of areas in which we require more focus. We are very pleased with our 97% score.”
Listen to Mr de Wet explain what the Standards for Palliative Healthcare Services are, and what accreditation means.
