Clinical Audit Facilitators should be your first point of call for practical advice about carrying out clinical audit projects.  Specifically, they will be able to help you to:

• choose and prioritise clinical audit project topics
• clarify the aims and objectives of your project
• write standards to audit against
• use appropriate clinical audit methodology.

And if required they can also help with:

• creating data collection forms
• analysing data
• preparing a PowerPoint presentation of your results
• supporting you to write a clinical audit project report.

The vast majority of audit activity progresses within divisions and their specialities, although some audits are organised centrally, e.g. Trust-wide audits, for which Dr Rachel Bradley is the Convenor.

*Where a Clinical Audit project involving specialities within the Diagnostics & Therapy division fits within the scope of one of the four clinical divisions (eg an audit of antibiotic use within surgical patients may be proposed by Pharmacy but relates to the Division of Surgery, Head & Neck), the audit should be registered and progressed within the relevant clinical division, as a multi-professional project, rather than registering under D&T.

Convenors are lead clinicians responsible for organising clinical audit activity. Convenors oversee audit programmes for their areas and will need to approve your project before you start.

Convenors also make up the Trust Clinical Audit Group (CAG).  From April 2019, the chair of this committee will be Dr Rachel Bradley.

We have a list of duties and responsibilities for audit convenors and a document listing the key responsibilities of the Chair of the CAG.
