"We have worked hard to ensure we have procedures and policies in place to conform to the rigorous guidelines required to gain the Information Standard Accreditation. Gaining the Standard is fantastic news as it recognises the quality of our information materials and of course provides the public with the confidence to know they can come to us and use our information with assurance of its medical accuracy."
