The quality standards advisory committee (QSAC) is an independent committee that helps to develop our quality standards.
Committee members
The quality standards advisory committee:
- prioritise areas for quality improvement
- advise on the content of our quality standards in development
- review 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.
