Clinical Audit Awareness Week at SWB - get involved

From 19 to 23 June, our Trust will be participating in national Clinical Audit Awareness Week (#CAAW23). This runs every year and is used to promote the benefits of clinical audit as a quality improvement tool, as well as providing an excellent platform to shine a light on brilliant audit activity happening locally.

There are some brilliant examples of how clinical audit is being used for improvement at SWB, so we will be using this week to celebrate our audit heroes and empower more of our colleagues to get excited about clinical audit.

What’s happening?

• Say hello: We will be having a stand in the foyer of the Hallam Restaurant at Sandwell all week and we will be walking around City to raise awareness.

• Mobile support: We will have our laptops so can provide ad-hoc support to register and update audit records when needed - please invite us to your clinical base if this is something that would benefit your team.

• Light reading: Look out for our CAAW23 booklet that captures learning, top tips for audit and improvement, and introductions to our “SWB Audit Heroes”. If you correctly complete the crossword at the back and get it back to us, you’re in with a chance of winning a treat!

• “Learn at Lunch”: National webinars are running throughout the week on the theme of each day, free to join for all colleagues.

• Virtual Masterclass: A national conference looking at clinical audit as a quality improvement tool.
