Audiology Team maintain high standards

Congratulations to our Audiology Team at Aintree who have maintained their UKAS IQIPS accreditation.

The Audiology Team were the first NHS Audiology service to achieve this accreditation in May 2013 and have worked continually in maintaining accreditation since this time.

Gaynor Chittick, Head of Audiology Services at Aintree, said: “I am very proud of the team’s achievement on maintaining their UKAS IQIPs accreditation. It provides a framework to benchmark our services and assures our patients that the diagnostic services we provide are at a continually high standard.

“The accreditation process requires excellent teamwork and all members of the team have had an active role in ensuring the department’s commitment to continual improvement and providing confidence to our patients using our service. This was obvious to the UKAS assessment team who commented that ‘staff are proactive, patient-centred and supportive of each other’.”
