Contact UsWe aim that through the use of the Quality Standards:
1. People with long-term conditions and their families and carers will know more about the services they can expect.
2. Commissioners will be supported in assessing and meeting the needs of their population with long-term conditions, improving health and reducing health inequalities, and will have better service specifications.
3. Service providers and commissioners will work together to improve service quality.
4. Service providers and commissioners will have external assurance of the quality of local services.
5. Reviewers will learn from taking part in review visits.
6. Good practice will be shared.
7. Service providers and commissioners will have better information to give to the Care Quality Commission, NHSI and other regulators.

If you wish to discuss any of these please contact a member of the QRS team qrs@nhs.net.
