The course has been run successfully by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust since 2000. From September 2010, it will be run jointly by the trust and Sheffield Hallam University, giving students access to a wider range of facilities.

The development of the programme is being officially supported by HQIP and the course is suitable both for clinical audit staff and healthcare professionals. The course uses work-based learning - where students plan and undertake a clinical audit project in their own organisation.

Running from September 2010 to July 2011, study is based on four three-day blocks of attendance in Sheffield. In between these workshops, students will remain in touch with tutors, and each other, through the university's e-learning system.
