1. Confirm the survey date

PMCWA will notify the site of the month that their survey is due and some possible dates based on availability of PMCWA Surveyors.

2. Understand your site’s position in the accreditation network

Review the Hierarchy of Accredited Sites to understand where your health site sits within the training network. This will help determine which standards apply to your site. Liaise with PMCWA and any connected sites if you are unsure.

A full explanation of each category within the Hierarchy of Accredited Sites (Primary Employing Health Service, Resident Employing Health Service etc)) is available in the PMCWA Accreditation Manual.

3. Develop your survey timetable

Use the Survey Timetable Template (available under Accreditation Forms) to plan the schedule for the survey.

4. Submit Evidence

All required templates and evidence checklists are located on the Accreditation Forms tab, including:

• Survey Timetable Template

• DPME/DCT Summary Form

• Evidence checklists for Term and Health Site Wide surveys

• Term Description Template

• Health Site Wide Description Form

• JMO Questionnaires (Term and Health Site Wide)

All documentation must be submitted at least 3 months before the survey.
