When we start to develop a quality standard, we consult on the areas it will cover.
This is called topic engagement. It's your chance to:
- identify areas for quality improvement
 - highlight emerging areas of practice
 - provide examples of current practice
 - apply to support the quality standard.
 
How to get involved
- Find the topic from the list of quality standards in development or from our open consultations.
 - Register your organisation as a stakeholder for the topic.
 - 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.
Download a sample comments form. This will help you prepare in advance.
Next steps
The quality standard advisory committee meets to:
- review the briefing paper
