Education and training
Opportunities for high quality learning in clinical audit are essential. HQIP will work to support the availability of a variety of learning opportunities, both through written guidance and through support and funding for the development of both face to face and on-line taught training and education.
The various written resources available on this site are essential reading for anyone seeking to improve their skills in audit, including those new to audit or clinicians in training; or for those who need their skills updating. They are also useful for those who have responsibility for students in training.

Raising the profile of clinical audit: workshops funded by The Health Foundation
The report available to download below is an overview of the work funded by The Health Foundation and carried out by HQIP and Berkshire Consultancy Ltd between October 2010 and June 2011. A grant of £100,000 and was used to develop, implement and evaluate a series of regionally held workshops. These were designed specifically for several NHS Trusts that had identified areas of difficulty with raising the profile of clinical audit within their organisations and ensuring that clinical audits improved the quality of clinical care as well as reporting on existing practice.
