Guidance & Support for Multi-site Audits
Multi-site audit project review days
HQIP holds multi-site audit project review days twice a year for suppliers to report on the progress of their audits and to meet other multi-site audit teams.
The next multi-site audit project review days will be: Birmingham - November 2012.
All projects are required to provide a brief oral update in at least one of the two reviews; the other update can be either a written or oral update. Attendance at all review days is encouraged.

- Information and presentations from previous multi-site audit project review days >>
HQIP arranges free quarterly seminars on topics of interest to national and multi-site audits. All HQIP funded multi-site audits are welcome to attend some or all of the seminar series.
Knowledge sharing and networking tools
National clinical audit forum (NCAF) for multi-site audits
Multi-site audits can make use of the National Clinical Audit Forum (NCAF) which launched at the end of June 2009. All groups granted funding are encouraged to join NCAF, and form a group in order to communicate and manage some of their work in connection with the audit they are carrying out.
In addition, HQIP has just launched an NCAF group for multi-site clinical audits* to communicate and discuss common problems and successes. HQIP hopes this will build on and enrich the discussions that take place at the multi-site audit project review days, by providing a permanent space for communicating and sharing.
*Please note that you will need to log in with your NCAF username and password to access the group.
Clinical Audit Knowledge Exchange (CAKE)
The Clinical Audit Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) provides access to clinical audit templates and allows NHS Trusts and other organisations to compare their clinical audit results.
At HQIP we strive to offer those involved in clinical audit the very best resources and support, the very latest news, events and maximise opportunities to network and interact with your peers.
HQIP Interactive takes that approach a step further, allowing you to choose how you'd like to be informed, how often and in what format.
So whether you'd like to receive HQIP's monthly eBulletin, join our professional network on LinkedIn, take advantage of Twitter's targeted updates, add us to your list of 'likes' on Facebook or join the debate on NCAF, there's options for everyone.

When multi-site clinical audit contracts with HQIP come to an end there is a requirement to complete the project closure process. The aim of project closure is to ensure that all aspects of the audit have been completed, documented and archived so that they are accessible for external scrutiny and for possible future use.
Project closure activities can be divided into three broad categories: 1. administrative closure, 2. critical analysis and 3. contract closure. Project closure will take place at a final project closure meeting between HQIP and the project lead(s) at the end of the contract.
