surgery without audit is like playing cricket without keeping score
— Hugh Brendan Devlin, Founding Director of the Surgical Epidemiology and Audit Unit, Royal College of Surgeons of England

Audit is paramount to a successful medical practice. A successful audit can: 

  • Ensure best practice is being implemented by identifying the clinical prognosis for your patients with your skills
  • Inform your own patients what the probability of good and adverse outcomes is likely to be based on audit results
  • Boost practice morale by identifying practice strengths 
  • Help identify areas for improvement in providing clinical care  

We can provide a balanced and objective assessment of your practice in order to have clear and concise information to make informed decisions. The audit is tailored to your needs. You decide which outcomes you would like to investigate. All data collected is confidential.
