Peer & Practice Assessments

The Quality Assurance Committee presented to Council about the first assessment cycle that took place in 2020 with the redesigned Peer and Practice Assessment Program. 10% of the membership were selected, seven assessors were appointed, and assessments were carried out in February and March. The 2021 assessments will begin in ­January 2021, and the assessment process will remain the same with minor revisions made to tools for clarity. Read about what to expect on page 9.
