Professional Standards Authority has now published its 2018/19 Annual Report.
The report was laid before Parliament on 27 June 2019 and fulfils PSA’s duty to report to Parliament on their own performance; and the performance of the health and care professional regulators and accredited registers PSA oversee.
The report highlights key areas of PSA’s work in 2018/19, including:
• Scrutinising the regulators’ final fitness to practise determinations and appealing any final decisions believed to be insufficient to protect the public
• Reviewing the performance of the nine health and care, professional regulators
• Oversight of the accredited registers programme and continuing efforts to increase awareness of the programme
• The publication of lessons learned review of how the Nursing and Midwifery Council handled complaints against midwives at Furness General Hospital
• Policy and research work including publication of two key pieces of research on duty of candour and sexual behaviours between colleagues.
