Overview

As you are aware Foundation standards is a requirement that general practice must attain. Foundation Standards are the fundamental requirements that ensure a general practice functions within regulations. Foundation Standards serve as critical benchmark for operational quality, governance, risk management, and overall business sustainability.

 

A thorough evaluation of these standards will enable your company to identify potential gaps, mitigate risks, and enhance overall performance. My goal is to help your organisation adhere to the standards and operational frameworks that best align with these objectives and expectations.
