Clinical audit projects

As part of the College's strategy for clinical audit, we facilitate high-quality national audits to help improve patient care and outcomes. These audits engage relevant health professionals to systematically evaluate their practice against national standards. 

Current clinical audits:

• National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP)
• National Epilepsy12 Audit
• Decreased Conscious Level Multi-site Audit
• National Paediatric Diabetes Audit

 RCPCH is a collaborating partner in the following clinical audits:

• RCP National Review of Asthma Deaths

Quality improvement projects

We also facilitate quality improvement projects which use various approaches to improve patient care and outcomes in a specific area.

Headsmart - reducing the length of time it takes to diagnose brain tumours in children.
