Accreditation
Mornington increased its community health credentials on 23 March 2022 when Mornington Medical Group received a national award of accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to quality and safety within its practice.
Mornington Medical Group received this important recognition from Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL), the leading not-for-profit provider of general practice accreditation services within Australia.
AGPAL Chair, Dr Richard Choong, said accreditation shows that the practice makes a significant investment and commitment to quality on a day-to-day basis, across all levels of the practice team.
“Achieving accreditation is a major achievement for any practice and a clear demonstration that Mornington Medical Group is striving to improve their level of care to both patients and the community. Practices seek accreditation because they want to do their best and view this as another step toward excellence in patient care “said Dr Choong.
To achieve accreditation, a practice team works over a 12-month period to implement the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Standards for general practices. The RACGP Standards provide a recognised national benchmark for general practices and services, and a template for quality care and risk management.
This achievement was the result of a commitment by our entire team to this process and we thank our team for their dedication and support to their patients and the community.
