Does the audit have to be conducted over the full year or can it be carried out over a shorter period?

The Medical Council has recommended 12 hours in the year as a guidance, however, it is not specified that it must be prolonged over the year and depending on the topic chosen may be done over a condensed period (e.g. 3 months). The amount of time spent doing the audit is self-recorded and regulated at this time.
