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
"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."

Having our education courses recognised and certificated adds a significant endorsement to what we do. It did involve a significant amount of work, especially as we had 3 programmes certificated by QISMET all at the same time, but actually it was a good opportunity to make sure our procedures were streamlined and could stand up to rigorous assessment.
We can therefore now remain confident that we are providing education services to the highest of our ability and are now recognised for that. Once all the paperwork from our end was completed the process of achieving certification was seamless and painless and the actual day of our site visit was plain sailing thanks to all the work that we did beforehand."
