Variation in local health accreditation standards between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. In healthcare, a weakness in accreditation standards is eventually paid for by a patient. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the health and pharmaceutical services discipline. Improvement in local health accreditation standards stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants leave with a method for this part of health and pharmaceutical services, not a set of opinions about it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse accreditation standards outperform teams that only plan it. Every module pairs a short input on local health accreditation standards with structured practice on the participant's own material. They acquire practical criteria for judging when accreditation standards is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
