Topic engagement

When we start to develop a quality standard, we consult on the areas it will cover. This is called topic engagement.

This is your chance to identify areas for quality improvement, highlight emerging areas of practice, provide examples of current practice and apply to support the quality standard.

Find open topic engagements

How to get involved

  1. Find the topic from the list of quality standards in development or from our open consultations. 

  2. Register your organisation as a stakeholder for the topic.

  3. Follow the instructions on the individual topic page.

Topic engagement is open for 2 weeks. We can only accept your comments during this time.  However, you can start preparing them in advance by downloading a sample comments form (Word).

What happens next

The quality standard advisory committee meets to:

  • review the briefing paper

  • discuss a summary of the areas identified

  • prioritise the areas for quality improvement that will be developed into statements and measures. 

We will publish:
