Focus on clinical audit
Phillip Cannell, a GDP in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex and Senior Lecturer in the School of Health and Human Sciences (SHHS) at the University of Essex, has recently published the results of a three year research project evaluating dentists' experiences of undertaking clinical audit in both the post-2001 GDS scheme and in an NHS modernisation agency pilot clinical audit scheme run within South East Essex PCT.
The research concludes by providing recommendations for the future design and use of clinical audit in dentistry, which it is hoped will assist both those commissioning future audit programmes and those embarking on clinical audit projects. A full copy of the report is available from the BDA library.
