Clinical Audit Heroes Awards 2024

The Clinical Audit Heroes Awards are the highlight of Clinical Audit Awareness Week. They are an opportunity to recognise, share and learn from the work taking place to improve the quality of healthcare for patients and users of services. These awards are NOW OPEN for nominations (and will close on Sunday 5 May).

We are keen to encourage entries that support evidence-based quality improvement in healthcare, whether clinical audit or any other data-informed improvement project. The awards are open to projects, individuals or teams involved in any type of healthcare setting in the UK, and we welcome entries from those working at a local, system or national level. There are five categories, and submitting an entry is simple and easy…
