Fifth edition of RACGP Standards for point-of-care testing released
The RACGP is pleased to release the Standards for point-of-care testing (5th edition) (the Standards). The Standards were developed following extensive consultation with stakeholders and piloting in general practices over a 12-month period. The Standards will support high-quality and safe point-of-care testing performed in general practices and health services.
To be accredited against the Standards, a practice must first be accredited against the RACGP’s Standards for general practices (5th edition). Accordingly, the practice needs to meet the requirements of the following modules:
- Core
- Quality improvement
- General practice
- Point-of-care testing
Visit the RACGP website to download the Standards or contact standards@racgp.org.au for more information.
