The RACGP has been urged to dump its push for random accreditation inspections of GP practices, with the idea labelled a “fairytale plan” by an accreditation agency head.  

The college says it is investigating the idea of spot checks or practice visits at short notice under a shake-up to create a system of continuous accreditation for the 6200 practices in the program.
