Intern Accreditation Manual
PMCQ is proud to announce that the first edition of the Intern Accreditation Manual is currently available. The second edition is currently being worked on and will be available in 2012. Each facility that is accredited, or is known to be seeking Accreditation, will be able to access this new document online upon completion. This manual is being updated as the PMCQ Accreditation System evolves. Additions or amendments will be progressively released online.
PMCQ gratefully acknowledges the funding provided by Queensland Health to undertake the Facility Support Project. The Intern Accreditation Manual wouldn't be possible without the significant contributions of Ms Debbie Paltridge and the team at QMET.

Please note the manual is a large file and may take time to download. Please note the compiled version accessed via this link does not include the 2012 amendments to the manual. The below list, however, does.
