Helderberg Hospice recently sat down with Bush Radio to speak about the significance of accreditation in the palliative care sector. With a remarkable 97% score in our sixth accreditation cycle, we remain deeply committed to excellence and transparency.
“This process isn’t just about clinical outcomes,” explains Robert de Wet, CEO of Helderberg Hospice. “It assesses everything from governance and fundraising to administration and human resources – truly every corner of our work.”
“Why does this matter? Because our community deserves care that’s held to the highest possible standard. External accreditation doesn’t just affirm what we do well but also, guides us to grow stronger.”
Listen below as Robert de Wet unpacks what the Standards for Palliative Healthcare Services involve, and why it’s so vital for organisations like ours to pursue independent assessment.
