• Audit measures practice against performance.
• The audit cycle involves five stages: preparing for audit; selecting criteria; measuring performance level; making improvements; sustaining improvements.
• Choose audit topics based on high risk, high volume, or high cost problems, or on national clinical audits, national service frameworks, or guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
• Derive standards from good quality guidelines.
• Use action plans to overcome the local barriers to change and identify those responsible for service improvement.
• Repeat the audit to find out whether improvements in care have been implemented after the first audit.

• First, efforts must be made to ensure that the NHS creates the local environment for audit.
• Second, the NHS needs to make sure that it uses audit methods that are most likely to lead to audit projects that result in real improvements.
