Remote UKAS assessments- your experience

[Rashmi]

Experiences of remote UKAS assessments were shared at a recent Teams meeting of the London & SE Pathology QMs Group. It would be good to hear from others how you have prepared for these and submitted info etc.
Some comments were:

• these were more relaxed than usual inspections/visits.
• the assessments could occur over a longer timescale, so assessors actually get to meet with the right people.
• Making videos of processes helped,
• forwarding large files over to the assessors could be problammatical- so looking at sharing documents over Teams might be the way forward (when we work out how to do it!
• gathering documents could take upto 1-2 weeks.

Be great to hear from anyone who has had a remote assessment and any good practices and tips would be appreciated.

Many thanks!
