RCP's Response To Lord Darzi's Report, High Quality Care For All, Our Journey So Far.

Responding to the publication of High Quality Care for All, Our journey so far, Professor Ian Gilmore, President of the Royal College of Physicians, said "We welcome the progress made since the publication of the first report from Lord Darzi, particularly the focus on the quality agenda. The challenge for the NHS is to ensure that the components of the agenda are practical and deliverable ensuring that the laudable aspirations can be transferred from paper into practice, especially in an increasingly cash-strapped environment. The College is delighted to be leading the national pilot project on the accreditation of stroke services. Service accreditation is a highly complex area but we believe it is a logical extension of our existing programme of guidelines and audit that have been for decades setting medical standards and improving services at ward level. We believe that service accreditation will complement the regulatory work of the Healthcare Quality Commission and provide the organisational context for individual medical revalidation. In addition we support Academic Health Science Centres which have the opportunity to be a real force in harnessing leading-edge research into new technologies and treatments for the benefits of patients in any healthcare setting, and they should have a key responsibility in spreading evidence based good practice."
