Accreditation of Units

Standards for Service Provision in Urogynaecology Units: Certification of Units

The purpose of BSUG accreditation is to define and monitor standards of care, organisation and quality within urogynaecology units. These standards will be measurable, and comparable and identify those units which deliver best practice. They are designed to provide a robust mechanism for ensuring quality control in units practising clinical urogynaecology, which will be of value to service users, commissioners and providers.

The standards provide a framework that will help urogynaecology units improve patient care, encourage multidisciplinary working, and enhance prospects for individual units to grow and develop.

BSUG has been accrediting units in the UK based on the standards set in the accreditation documents and these documents have been updated periodically to reflect the changes in clinical practices over time. The current documents have been updated (2024) and reflect the required standards of care based on the current evidence base and practice in the UK. The documents have been updated to streamline the processes of achieving accreditation and have undergone rigorous peer review. It is expected that the applying clinicians will be BSUG members, utilising the BSUG database in their routine clinical practice and working within a multidisciplinary team to deliver high standards of care to their patients.
