Accreditation
Accreditation of a Respiratory Laboratory is the process whereby the professional standards and competence of a service is formally recognized by the TSANZ.
Accreditation of Sleep Laboratories is now wholly undertaken by the Australasian Sleep Association (ASA).
The purpose of Accreditation is
- to encourage appropriate standards of medical care and practice to ensure that a service operates of an agreed standard.
- to formally recognise to services that achieve these standards.
- to maintain the standards by consultation and advice rather than by regulation.
Laboratories need to meet the TSANZ accreditation specifications in order to satisfy the RACP requirements as a training site for Advanced Training in Respiratory and /or Sleep Medicine.
For more information and guideline documents please refer to the Position Paper page for Accreditation.
All enquiries regarding Respiratory Lab Accreditation are to be addressed to the TSANZ Executive Officer.
For Sleep Facilities please contact the Australasian Sleep Association (ASA).
