  • I know you mentioned the ISO Standard (BS ISO 7101:2023) Healthcare organisation management – Management systems for quality in healthcare organisations – Requirements in the last few days on here Thomas. I’d be interested to develop an understanding of any healthcare organisations that are implementing the ISO standard please or are thinking…Read more

    • I am working with one large Trust to help design and implement a QMS to this ISO Standard. I’m sure that some others may be but I don’t know which. I do no that several other Trusts are interested in the standard as you can see from comments in this SIG. This week I’ll be posting questions and answers from my last webinar. A number of questions…Read more

But guess what? They all have…Read more

  • Other standards used within HNS Trusts also use the Annex SL MIS Framework, standards for things like AI, IT Governance, Environment, etc. Trusts should conduct a survey across all areas to understand the extent they can take advantage of a well designed IMS.

  • PAS 1616, ISO 15189, ISO 9001, and BS ISO 7101 can ALL be implemented with a Integrated Management System (IMS) using the Annex SL Framework. With the right design the following standards can also be included: The General Pharmaceutical Council’s Standards for pharmacy professionals May 2017 and The Royal College of Radiologists’ Standards.

    • I learnt this week that ISO15189 Quality and Competence in Medical Laboratories is not a classed as a management standard by ISO so doesn’t comply with Annex SL nor are there any plans for it to do so.
