  • Communication
  • Continuity of Care
  • Equipment and Minor Surgery
  • Health Promotion
  • Information Technology
  • Medical Records
  • Nursing and Midwifery

After the evidence is completed, an onsite visit is arranged and takes place during a normal working day to assess the practice and interview the members of staff.
