Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Professional Accreditation of Higher Education Courses: Discussion
Professor Orla Sheils:
The accreditation process involves an assessment of the governance within the institutions. In other words, how things are run. That does not change whether it is occupational therapy, physiotherapy or radiation therapy. An example from my home institution is that the school of medicine had three accreditation visits. People who can speak to the governance are rolled out to say the same thing to three different boards in an academic year.
