The Foundation Standard exemption form
Practices might request an exemption when the requirements needed to meet Foundation Standard are few but would cause a lengthy delay to their assessment and certification. Exemptions are given for a set period and examples may include a piece of equipment or training (e.g. CPR) not being immediately available, or an approved fire evacuation scheme being slow to be signed off.
If the exemption is granted, the practice needs to complete the outstanding requirement within the agreed timeframe, upload the evidence to Smartsheet, and email the Quality Team at quality@rnzcgp.org.nz
