Professional Standards Authority
The Professional Standards Authority helps to protect the public through their work with organisations that register and regulate people working in health and social care.
There are three main areas to Professional Standards Authority's work:
- Reviewing the work of the regulators of health and care professionals
- Accrediting organisations that register health and care practitioners in unregulated occupations
- Giving policy advice to Ministers and others and encouraging research to improve regulation.
They apply the principles of Right-touch regulation to everything they do.
They assess organisations that register health and social care practitioners who are not regulated by law so that you can choose a practitioner to meet your needs with confidence.
