Questions

Has HAS approved this has certification visit checklist?

No. HAS does not approve templates or software. This template is built from HAS's own published standards and our guides, and your clinic adapts it, signs it off and owns it.

Can we use it as it is?

Use it as a starting point. Replace every part in square brackets with your clinic's own details, check it against your services, and have your clinical lead sign it off before it is used.

How do we get the editable version?

Enter your work email on this page and we send the editable document. The full template is on this page to read before you ask.

In wai, the records this checklist depends on are versioned and signed, from notes and letters to consent forms and the audit trail.

See the signed record behind this checklist on your own clinic, in a 15 minute video call.
