Inspectors are the backbone of JACIE; without them, there is no accreditation process. Becoming an inspector is a wonderful way to contribute to maintaining global quality standards. As the number of JACIE applications has increased, we are constantly looking for new inspectors to join our ranks. At the moment, we are particularly keen to hear of German, French and Spanish speaking Clinicians and Quality Managers.
Each month, you will have the opportunity to meet with one of our JACIE Inspector who will share his/her experience.
Read our interview with Eugenia Trigoso, JACIE Inspector and Chair of the JACIE Inspector Committee.
Introduce yourself and your role(s) and position(s) within EBMT and outside of EBMT
My name is Eugenia Trigoso, I am a Clinical Nurse at the Hospital La Fe in Valencia, Spain. I have more than 30 years of experience in Paediatric SCT. I have a master’s degree in Hematopoietic Transplants and Bioethics. I combine my work in BMT ward and as an associated Professor at the University.
Within the EBMT, I am a member of two Nurses Group Committees: The Paediatric Committee and the Global Education Committee. I am also an Honorary Nurse Member of the Paediatric Diseases Working Party (PDWP); a JACIE Quality Inspector and Chair of the JACIE Inspector Committee.
Why did you decide to become a JACIE inspector?
I decided to become a JACIE inspector in order to learn as much as possible for my own centre, and to make our accreditation easier.
What has been the most memorable inspection that you have ever done?
The most memorable inspection was the first one! it was Anna Sureda’s centre and I was afraid! I should also say that Javier Sánchez Salinas, the Team Leader, had a lot of experience, he made everything smooth and easy and I learned a lot from him.
What ‘keys to successful JACIE accreditation’ can you share with us?
First, to be prepared for this: don’t review the checklist at the last moment, and a good communication with your colleagues and with the centre is key. Be polite and try to bother as less as possible. Everyone has been working very hard to get the accreditation.
How has your career/work benefited from being a JACIE inspector?
I have been learning a lot from the inspectors who are more experienced than me. I have been able to meet people from all around the World and also, I have a more relevant role in my own centre.
Do you have any tips or advice for anyone who aspires to become a JACIE Inspector?
Try to be patient, learn about communication and about JACIE as much as possible beforehand.
