Audit
Audit on outcome of new referrals to neurosurgical outpatients department. Outcome of all new back and neck pain referrals were auditted. Unnecessarily high referral rate for mechanical back/neck pain was found. suggestions to improve the situation were formulated. Results presented in audit meeting, department of neurosurgery, Hull Royal Infirmary – Feb 05
Audit on surgical treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of humerus in children. Excellent results were noted in comparison with published work. No change in practice was recommended. Results presented at audit meeting, department of orthopaedics, Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, Grimsby- August 2005
AUDIT ON AUDIT PRACTICES, evaluated the out comes of audits done in department of orthopaedics at Dumfries and Galloway royal infirmary. Doubts regarding the effectiveness of the whole process of audit were raised and an audit into how many audits were being completed was done. It was found that up to 50% of audits are not even completed and almost none were being re-audited. Several suggestions to improve this situation were presented and recommendations have been implemented. Suggestions included regular monthly audit meeting, preapproval for audit projects, closer liaison with audit department, registry to keep track of all audit programmes and to ensure completion and re-audit. The results of these changes in practices are to be re-audited
