CAAW26 Turning Strategy into Reality: Clinical Audit as a Strategic Enabler of the NHS Three Shifts
We’re kick starting Clinical Audit Awareness Week (CAAW) 2026 by considering how clinical audit and data-informed improvement support the delivery of national and strategic priorities.
Clinical audit is a data-driven, evidence-informed and clinically relevant improvement methodology that plays a critical role in delivering national NHS priorities.
This online session will explore how the use of clinical audit and data-informed improvement supports the NHS 10-Year Plan and its three shifts towards prevention, community-based care, and greater use of digital and data, translating strategic ambition into measurable improvements in patient care. Bringing together national insight and real-world delivery, the session will demonstrate how audit programmes help prioritise resources, reduce variation, and improve outcomes. It will also look ahead to the future of clinical audit, including the opportunity to strengthen the profession through the development of an Association of Clinical Audit and Registries (ACAR).
Find out more about Clinical Audit Awareness Week 2026 and explore the other events and activities available to attend. Please do share with other colleagues who may be interested in joining too.
NOTE: For the best experience, we recommend joining Teams webinars via a laptop rather than a mobile phone.
