Despite the COVID-19 pandemic having a massive impact on research studies, we are now well into our recovery and are thrilled that recruitment is gathering momentum and that we have more sites joining us.

Round one
Our path towards accreditation started back in 2014. We felt we were a good and forward-thinking department, but the challenge was (a) is it true? and if so (b) could we prove it?
The ACSA process gave us the platform and the tools to provide assurance that we had the policies, and personnel in place, but also highlighted the gaps that had developed over the years. Our original involvement with ACSA and subsequent accreditation in 2018 was a positive experience. ACSA gave the department a common purpose and an opportunity to involve the whole theatre community in reviewing how we work and why we do what we do. We took pride in benchmarking ourselves against nationally agreed standards and opening the department up to external scrutiny. That said, our accreditation in 2018 was not the end of the story.
