Carotid interventions

This project is housed within the Clinical Effectiveness and Evaluation Unit of the Royal College of Physicians of London, in collaboration with the Vascular Society of Great Britain & Ireland (VSGBI) and the original team at St George's.  The audit enables comparison of routine practice with regard to carotid endarterectomy with prioritised findings and recommendations for improvement.

Continence

Run by the Royal College of Physicians and endorsed by Professor Ian Philp, National Director of Older People’s Services at the Department of Health, the National Audit of Continence Care for Older People (NACCOP) is the largest audit of continence care to be conducted in the UK. The first two rounds of National Audit revealed a slow start to service redesign and delivery of integrated continence care and provided evidence that integrated care delivered better quality care for patients. The next round of the audit is due to start in November 2009. More
