The National Centre for Clinical Audit: the first stage

Abstract

This paper outlines the first stage in the development of the National Centre for Clinical Audit (NCCA), which is being established by a partnership of 14 professional organizations. Its purpose is to provide a national focus for clinical audit to ensure that those who are conducting local, regional, and national audits are informed about similar projects. The first key task for the centre is the development of criteria for excellence in clinical audit, which will form the foundation on which the NCCA will build the core information and dissemination services. The NCCA must work in cooperation and collaboration with potential users and professional organizations to ensure that the services it provides are relevant.
