DCAP accreditation assessments are undertaken by an assessment team of clinical and lay assessors. The assessors play a critical role in assessing services for accreditation, providing a fair and comprehensive assessment and providing suggestions for quality improvement. We also have a specialist panel of dieticians, pharmacists, and podiatrists as part of the core assessment team, who contribute to reviewing evidence. Our lay representatives also include individuals who have diabetes themselves, which offers a unique patient perspective.
