Intern Accreditation Manual

PMCQ is proud to announce that the first edition of the Intern Accreditation Manual will be released by the close of July 2010. Each facility that is accredited, or is known to be seeking Accreditation, shall be sent a copy of this important resource. This manual shall be updated as the PMCQ Accreditation System evolves. Additions or amendments shall be progressively released on-line and electronically dispatched to you for inclusion within your manuals.

PMCQ gratefully acknowledges the funding provided by Queensland Health to undertake the Facility Support Project. The Intern Accreditation Manual wouldn't be possible without the significant contributions of Ms Debbie Paltridge and the team at QMET.
