QIS2015 Certification
QIS2015 - The Quality Standard for Self Management Interventions of all types.
First published in April 2012, and significantly updated in 2015 to include digital interventions, QIS2015 is the “gold standard” for the self-management sector. QISMET developed this universal standard to assure the delivery of consistently high quality self-management interventions of all types of provision.
The types of intervention available are rapidly changing to reflect the needs of all individuals who may require self-management education. In addition, digitally based programmes offer a wide range of approaches that include apps, coaching, telephone support, access to groups and libraries of information.
The key requirements for QISMET certification are that the approach must provide structured education and must have defined relevant outcomes that can be demonstrated are achieved. We do not certificate stand-alone products that are not part of a structured education pathway .

What Others Think
"The quality of self management provision is key for individuals to know that they are getting a good service and for commissioners to know that they are getting value for money.
I welcome the establishment of QISMET which will develop standards and accreditation processes for self management education and training"
Miles Ayling, Director of Innovation and Service Improvement, Department of Health
"We have just updated our PDAC workbook and I thought this another opportunity for the Peterborough Diabetes Team to express its gratitude to you for the QISMET review that you conducted last year. Your visit was a phenomenal shot in the arm for us, not just because we gained accreditation but also we got considerable satisfaction from updating all the policies and lesson plans. The whole process of our pre-visit preparation and then discussion with you re-invigorated us.
We were encouraged to look at new ways of delivering education to different groups, in particular to young people. Our PDAC education development meetings are now much more structured and focused. We have changed delivery of certain sections to make them more patient friendly and changed the timing of the course. We have developed a new version of PDAC called PDAC bites specifically for young people which is a short course for those reluctant to attend the full programme.
Thank you again and we look forward to your next visit."
