Trent Accreditation Scheme or TAS |
Trent Accreditation Scheme or TAS
The Trent Accreditation Scheme (TAS) offers accreditation based on NHS International Healthcare Accreditation standards for all sizes of healthcare facilities by maximising patient safety and empowering local ownership. For hospitals and clinics delivering services to international patients, Trent Accreditation provides a competitive advantage by giving prospective patients and medical tourists confidence in the quality and standards of overseas healthcare facilities. The Scheme has been developed by practitioners and managers from within the former Trent NHS Region in the United Kingdom, ensuring capability, credibility and ownership by its users and is continuing to evolve and develop. TAS is a member of UKAF and the scheme was evaluated by the Nuffield Institute and Sheffield Centre for Health and Related Research (SCHARR) and was seen to be highly valued by participants. Trent Accreditation has been successfully implemented in overseas markets such as Hong Kong since 1999, and more recently has expanded to include hospitals in the Phillipines, Malta and Cyprus. Scheme Aims
- To provide a self assessment tool through which organisations can assess and continue to develop and improve their services by reference to external standards. At present, standards are available for hospitals (particularly small to medium sized ones), and Day Services. Work has been undertaken on learning disability services, primary care and mental health services for the elderly, and community-based services. Standards for District Nursing Services are being drawn up. The Scheme has the potential for development to cover a wider range of services. The Board is exploring these links to other services.
- To support preparation for Healthcare Commission needs, particularly providing evidence of the self-assessment and adding value to process.
- To assure the Healthcare Commission that there is an on-going process for maintaining quality development.
- Through the delivery of the Scheme to offer individual development opportunities for staff, which will benefit both them and their organisations.
- To offer those who commission health services and the public an objective means of being assured of the general quality of such services;

Over two hundred medical, dental and cosmetic procedures
are available in various categories: Orthopedic procedures such

Birmingham hip resurfacing, artificial knee replacement, knee surgery, cosmetic
procedures such as breast augmentation, face lift,
rhinoplasty (nose surgery), liposuction, dental

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad
to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also
called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical
Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is
usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad
for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments.
Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and
tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
