Audit
The completed audit cycle has been introduced for all GP registrars in
Severn and Wessex starting in general practice on or after 1 February
2002.
A completed audit cycle (an 8 criteria audit) comprises two collections
of data separated by a change. The competency which is being assessed is
“the ability to review and critically analyse the practitioner’s own
working practices and manage any necessary changes appropriately.”
GP registrars are advised to keep the audit simple and relevant.
Adequate preparation and planning with an audit calendar early in the
training year will ensure that a trainer and registrar are confident
about working within the time available.
Dr Michael Harris, a course organiser in Bath /Swindon, has produced an
excellent on-line Audit Study Guide and we strongly recommend you visit
his
site.
You should also make sure you have read the
audit
checklist.
