Top Tip!
Set clear aims and objectives for your clinical audit - this will set the focus for the project, helps when choosing the appropriate method & ensures everyone knows what to expect......#CAAW23

[Lynda Oswald @oswald_lynda]

Couldn’t agree more!

[Claire Bowler 💙 @ClaireBowler]

@cascleicester Having worked at a good clinical audit hospital and a bad one I think it comes from the top down. I also found that at a big general hospital national audits put a strain on resources.

[Lynda Oswald @oswald_lynda]

@SuzanneAudit Hope it stays dry for you.

[Lynda Oswald @oswald_lynda]

Couldn’t agree more @BHTQI @BHT_CE

[WAHT Clinical Audit @WAHTClinAudit]

“Quality improvement” is an agreed,systematic approach with specific tools and techniques to improve quality

Incorporating QI methodology increases the likelihood of a successful project and changes sustainable
