Accreditation & Certification
All Chaplains who have worked in General Practice for at least a year are strongly encouraged to demonstrate the professional nature of their work either through ACGP initial Accreditation and annual Re-Accreditation, or through ACGP initial Certification and annual Re-Certification.
Accreditation / Re-Accreditation
Accreditation is available to Chaplains who have already worked in Primary Healthcare Chaplaincy for more than 6 hours a week for at least a year. Successful applicants will become Accredited Practitioners.
The application forms below will guide you through the process of either initial Accreditation or subsequent annual Re-Accreditation.
We are currently in the process of updating our Accreditation application form to an online process, which we hope to be available for submissions in subsequent years. This year, however, we will continue to use the Word Document version of the Accreditation application form below:
