Many doctors fear PCPNDT inspections because nobody has ever told them what actually happens. In most cases, it is a records check — methodical, not dramatic.
Inspectors typically verify your Form A registration and its display, your Form-F records for completeness and consistency, your patient register, and that the mandatory boards and declarations are displayed correctly.
The commonest failures are mundane: unsigned forms, missing referral details, register entries that don't match forms, or an expired renewal. None of these are about your scanning — they are about systems.
The doctors who sail through inspections share one habit: compliance is built into the workflow, not done in a panic before a visit. Form-F is completed before the patient leaves. Records are reviewed weekly. Renewals are diarised.
Day five of the program is devoted entirely to this — not to make you anxious, but to make inspections boring.
