Developmedica are constantly at the forefront of meeting the development needs of healthcare professionals in the UK, and consequently our ‘Clinical Audit for Doctors’ book is due for publication this November.

The process of clinical audit has become an integral part of NHS practice and is one of the key principles of clinical governance which doctors must strive to meet. With audit being such a key component of a doctor’s role in healthcare today, Developmedica are here to offer support and guidance to individuals in that capacity.

Written by doctors highly experienced in the audit process, and edited by Robert Ghosh, the Chairman of the Clinical Audit and Effectiveness Committee at Homerton University Hospital, this upcoming book stresses the importance of audit skills to doctors in progressing their careers, as well as telling you how to identify suitable audit topics and carry out an effective audit.

Foreword by Sir Liam Donaldson in upcoming Developmedica publication

Sir Liam Donaldson, the Chief Medical Officer of England, has kindly contributed a foreword to our upcoming book, ‘Clinical Audit for Doctors’, which is due for release in November. A sneak preview of his foreword is below:

‘Audit is a valuable tool to drive quality improvement and decrease the variation between organisations’ performance against quality criteria. The process of examining current practice, then making changes and looking for evidence of improvement, is at the heart of this. Done frequently and well, clinical audit has the potential to transform services for patients, resulting in a significant positive shift in the quality of health organisations. To deliver excellent care, we must guard against audit becoming simply an obligation to progress through training or satisfy clinical governance boards.’

Clinical Audit for Doctors has been written to provide readers with the knowledge and skills required on how to become involved with and conduct effective clinical audit as part of maintaining clinical excellence.
