Accreditation for museums

The Anaesthesia Museum has just been officially ‘Accredited’ by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA)

 MLA’s Museum Accreditation Scheme sets nationally agreed standards for all museums in the UK.  The Anaesthesia Museum’s award proves that it measures up, meeting the guidelines on how it is run, how it looks after its collections and the services it provides its visitors.

Staff and volunteers of the Anaesthesia Heritage Centre have worked throughout the summer of 2008 to ensure that this has been recognised.

Andrew Motion, Chair of MLA, said: “Being awarded Accreditation is an impressive achievement.  It recognises the high standard and service that the Anaesthesia Museum provides and acknowledges the hard work of the staff.”
