Are there any tools to help me undertake my audit?

Yes, there is a short guide to audit and a wide selection of sample audits available on www.icgp.ie/audit to assist you.

An audit involves taking a standard and comparing your current practice against that standard. Audit assumes that standards, guidelines or evidence exists, and asks: "Are we doing what we should be doing?"

You can carry out a clinical or practice-based audit and there are examples of these on the audit webpage to assist you.

You could also choose to undertake a patient survey to meet your audit requirement once in a 5 year cycle.

If you require further assistance in relation to your audit, please contact professionalcompetence@icgp.ie
