Audits

ENT UK is collaborating with the Department of Health and the Royal College of Surgeons of England on a number of audits. The audits are used to:

• provide surgeons with a better understanding of their own practises
• supply detailed information on the management of specific surgical procedures
• generate statistics, which can be used to identify areas of surgical difficulties
• start the process of standardising patient notes
• produce information which surgeons can use to better advise patients of surgical outcomes and complications
• identify areas of surgery that require further research and/or more auditing
• provide research information on a serious diseases such as vCJD (variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease).
