BRIS-144 Response Historic

Trusts must fully support clinical audit with resources and a central co-ordinating office

Recommendation

Clinical audit must be fully supported by trusts. They should ensure that healthcare professionals have access to the necessary time, facilities, advice and expertise in order to conduct audit effectively. All trusts should have a central clinical audit office which co-ordinates audit activity, provides advice and support for the audit process, and brings together the results of audit for the trust as a whole.
