Using the Stanley system

Stanley is our online system for the Practice Standards Scheme (PSS). Practices can use it to manage the assessment process and get step-by-step guidance on PSS requirements. Practices not currently in the PSS can use it to apply to the Scheme.

Stanley is the central point of communication between practices, assessors and RCVS staff.
