September 12, 2016 – Proton Partners International Ltd has been awarded the prestigious International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 9001:2008 certificate for Quality Management Systems.

ISO 9001:2008 is the internationally recognised standard for quality management systems (QMS), which enables organisations to demonstrate that they have leadership, resources and processes in place to consistently deliver quality products and services whilst also meeting statutory and regulatory requirements.

Proton Partners was awarded the certificate by AJA Registrars following a two stage audit which involved the sampling of selected evidence in the form of documents, policies, procedures and records, supported by interviews with personnel, and observation of working practices. Leadership, commitment to quality and customer focus also formed part of the audit against this international standard.
Following the successful review, Proton Partners was awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certificate for ‘Management of a range of cancer treatment service facilities in the UK and overseas, which provide diagnostics, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, proton beam therapy, programme management and training.’

Mike Moran, Chief Executive of Proton Partners International, said: "Achieving ISO 9001:2008 accreditation so early in the Company’s life is a cornerstone to the Company’s future success. This is the first of many such accreditations that the Company will seek to achieve, all of which will support our drive for sustainable excellence.

“We have developed four Pillars of Excellence, the two central Pillars; The Patient Experience and Improving Cancer Care, puts the patient at the centre of the Company’s activities, while the other two Pillars; Operational and Clinical Excellence and Advancing Proton Beam Therapy, support activities for sustainability.

“I am extremely proud to lead a team that puts such emphasis on quality and excellence. The staff have worked tirelessly to gain ISO 9001:2008 accreditation and to drive home the desire to achieve excellence right across the Company.”
