Committee members
The quality standards advisory committee:
prioritises areas for quality improvement
advises on the content of our quality standards in development
reviews our current quality standards.
The committee is independent and consists of professionals, practitioners and lay members from a range of roles across health and social care.
The committee includes a core membership who work across quality standard topics - we call these standing members. Standing members are joined by specialist committee members who are experts in a particular topic area.
Specialist members help to develop a particular standard. They join the QSAC to help:
refine the draft quality statements
look at stakeholder feedback
consider the impact of the standard on resources
review issues around equality
advise on other tools and resources to accompany the standard.
All members of the committee have equal status, which reflects the relevance and importance of their different expertise and experience.
