Our committees

The work of our Board is supported by our Audit and Risk Committee, Scrutiny Committee, Finance Committee and our Nominations Committee.

Audit and Risk Committee

The Audit and Risk committee helps the Board ensure that we are well governed and manage risks.  It comprises three non-executive Board members and is chaired by Nick Simkins. It reports to the Board in writing and its Chair is given an opportunity to raise matters at every Board meeting. The Audit and Risk committee provides the Board with an Annual Report, summarising the main areas of work undertaken by the committee during the previous year. 

Scrutiny Committee

The Scrutiny Committee reviews, monitors and reports on the operation of the PSA’s work in scrutinising the work of the ten healthcare regulatory bodies; the processes for approving appointments to those bodies, and the Accredited Registers programme we oversee. It meets in February, April and October. These meetings are not open to the public, however, if you would like a copy of the minutes, please email info@professionalstandards.org.uk

Nominations Committee

The Nominations committee ensures that the PSA has an appropriate Board membership. Meetings are held as the need arises.
