Accreditation: RACGP wants practices to undergo random spot checks

The assessments need to capture real-world general practice, the college argues

Currently, accreditation visits occur towards the end of each three-year cycle, with teams of assessors inspecting clinics, reviewing documents and interviewing staff over a single day.
