Don’t get caught in a snow drift! Clinical audit should be a snapshot of current practice, not a blanket of data. Select a manageable number of snowflakes to examine before your motivation melts away, you can’t catch them all! #auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews

Don’t get your fairy lights in a muddle… Keep your data organised and structured. Creating a simple data collection tool will help you untangle the information when it comes to the analysis #auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews

Follow the brightest star…. Be wise with your time & ensure your audit project is a Trust priority, such as: NICE, SIRI’s, CQC report themes, complaints, high risk areas, National Audits, Re-audit, themes from Confidential Outcome Reviews. #auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews

Don’t let the ghost of clinical audit future show you what would have happened were you not to have changed your ways… Formulating robust, SMART action plans will ensure your audit improves practice and patient care #auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews

@cwwalker10 @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews @nqican Thanks @cwwalker10, that would be fantastic 😁we're happy to be part of anything that promotes #clinicalaudit

Focus is key; keep your eye on the bauble! To ensure your #ClinicalAudit is successful, make sure you focus on your objectives and don’t go off track. Collect only the data you need to measure against your standards. #auditadvent @PHT_OD @QAHospitalNews
