21 November 2025 (Friday) - UKAS Update

The nice people at the UK Accreditation service sent their update today. You can read it by clicking here. I always do. Some people have criticized me for not taking the whole UKAS thing seriously, which is unfair. I take it very seriously as doing so is a legal requirement. However I question how any of its requirements improve what I do on a daily basis. I can remember asking the same question about its predecessor organisations Clinical Pathology Accreditation and Investors in People.
I am very open to being shown the error of my ways. I wish I could be shown the error of my ways; clearly thousands of people feel the entire accreditation process to be a very worthwhile endeavour. It’s just that every single person with whom I’ve spoken about it approaches accreditation from the perspective of “doing accreditation” for its own sake.
I’m sure I’m missing something. I *wish* I knew what.
