Quality Assurance
Quality assurance (QA) is a requirement of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, which states that “Equipment must be suitable for purpose and properly maintained”. In order to demonstrate this, regular inspection and testing of equipment is essential.
The aim of this section is to provide a framework for the implementation of a QA programme.
