Accreditation
Hospital emergency departments meeting minimum criteria as stated in the Guidelines for Adult and Mixed Emergency Departments Seeking Training Accreditation are accredited for either 6, 12 or 24 months of emergency medicine training.
A number of elements are considered including staffing levels, supervision, case mix of patients, design and equipment, support services, the education and research program, trainee orientation and support mechanisms, accreditation of other specialties within the hospital.
Inspections are carried out at the request of a hospital seeking accreditation or as part of a 5-year cycle of reinspection. FACEM inspectors visit the hospital and meet with staff of the emergency department and other senior staff. The outcome is discussed by the inspection team and reported to the Council of Education where the decision is made.
