Meet the PSS team

The PSS team manages all aspects of the Practice Standards Scheme and is the first point of contact for practices.

Our officers support a regional caseload of member practices with any day-to-day admin related to the Scheme. This includes setting them up on Stanley, allocating assessors, tracking evidence, and issuing certificates.

The PSS team works alongside our team of PSS assessors.
