QHA Trent offers a British brand for international accreditation. This brand includes the unique use of experienced surveyors who are currently active in clinical practice or who have recently retired. We believe this is crucial in providing an up-todate service yet also with pragmatic understanding of the pressures and circumstances of modern health services. We believe that unless surveyors have very recent experience of working in hospitals and clinics, they quickly lose the necessary perspective.

Our surveyors have years of experience of working within clinical governance systems established for more than 20 years. They are motivated, sensible, and considerate. With QHA Trent, the accreditation package comes with friendly experience and that characteristically British reserve. All our surveyors are fully vetted, trained, and updated.

Our establishment of surveyors in active clinical employment means that we are able to offer accreditation services at a fraction of the cost of competitors. Nevertheless, our standards are rigorously upheld and the process of accreditation is just as exacting.

We pride ourselves on our developmental approach. We know it can seem a daunting prospect to have an external review of your service, and therefore we fully respect the need to work with you in preparation to achieve accreditation. Our approach is very much one of balanced feedback: we emphasise the positive aspects of good practice as much as constructive recommendations. Experience shows us that an accreditation partnership with QHA Trent enables remarkable improvements to hospital services for patients and staff over time. We believe that accreditation is not just a one-off event, but a journey of continuous development and improvement.

Our team has extensive experience of working all over the world and therefore has a repertoire able to respect and understand local practices and customs. Our standards enable interpretation according to wherever you are in the world.
