HQIP is lead sponsor of the event, originally scheduled for earlier this summer. HQIP National Lead for Local Quality Improvement, Kate Godfrey, will present a session entitled ‘How can we support Junior Doctors to deliver effective Clinical Audit projects that lead to change and improvement'.

Godfrey's session will lead on four main themes: ensuring junior doctors have the clinical audit skills they need at an early stage in their career; prioritising the elements of clinical audit that have the most impact; how to ensure continuity and re-audit; and ensuring junior doctor-led clinical audit is not just a tick-box exercise for career progression. The move follows HQIP's ‘Guide to Involving Junior Doctors in Clinical Audit', written by Nancy Dixon, which Godfrey said had ‘proved immensely popular since its launch at HQIP's Clinical Audit Conference in April.
