Good luck with all the paper work! We were inspected a few months ago to keep our hospital status and the boardroom table was covered in paperwork!

Many Thanks and congrats on achieving staus!!!,

I have been looking at the paperwork for tier 2 status, and there looks to be a lot of work we need to do first, particularly paperwork, which seems they have been a bit lapse with.

At some point will have a chat with the boss man and see what things we are going to need to do, thinking its going to take longer than thought!.

I would be very greatful for any help though, so am sure will be in touch.

Many Thanks

Hi Louise

To add to my earlier comments, the practice I've been working with have now been told they have provisionally succeeded in attaining the teir 2 award for PSS. They just need to submit a few additional documents.If you or your practice partner want to talk to me about it just drop me a line.

Thanks

I ought to warn you there is an incredibly large amount of work required. This is especially so in section 8 (Medicinal Products).

If you havent already go to the RCVS website and in the PSS download section you will find the RCVS Practice Standards Manual, its 52 pages.

here is a link

You can apply to be a training practice at the same time but it is conditional on you attaining the PSS acreditation.

hope this helps

Cheers

Thanks guys for all your help,

Loubylouglad you said thats as looking like we need to change op/prep room as no set one yet, new boss was planning on doing quite soon, so hopefully we could get sorted soon as the girls are very keen to start training.

I was thinking about the tier 2 sounds like it would be simplier to do them both at same time. Iam awaiting information from a VNAC and hopefully can get started.

Never thought about the amount of work which is actually required when I did my training but am very excited about foing it and am very lucky to have a set of keen trainees

Will keep you informed xxx

When I helped set up a TP 2 years ago we were sent a list of requirements by the vnac. They came out to do an inspection and although we didnt have everything spot on they diod approve us but gave us an action plan for the outstanding bits. They then came out a few months later to check we had carried their suggestions out.

Hi Louise

I am about to take a practice through their RCVS teir 2 inspection on Thursday, followed by TP status and followed by the first two nurses starting their VN training in September.

If you or your vet want to talk to me about just what is involved then feel free to pm or email me.

Thanks
