  7. EXAMPLE A2: CLINICAL AUDIT OF ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY PRESENTATION AND ADMISSION OF CHILDREN WHO MISUSE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL • Literature review • Levels of teenage alcohol/drugs abuse has increased in the UK and globally. • We don’t know how many A&E admissions are related to this, or whether children are receiving the right services. http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/clinauditchap3.pdf

  8. EXAMPLE A2: AIMS • To establish the incidence of casualty presentations and admissions related to drug and alcohol misuse; and • To examine whether young people misusing drugs and alcohol were being referred appropriately by staff for further psychosocial intervention. http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/clinauditchap3.pdf

  9. EXAMPLE A2: STANDARDS • This audit was used to COMPILE new standards. • 1. whether reference to drugs or alcohol was present or absent in the casualty notes • 2. whether in the admission case notes of children admitted with alcohol intoxication there had been referral to social work, child psychiatry http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/clinauditchap3.pdf

  10. EXAMPLE A2: METHODS/RESULTS • RETROSPECTIVE AUDIT. • Casualty notes of one week’s attendance at A&E, of 11–15 year olds (n= 73). • Case notes of one year’s admissions of under-16s with alcohol intoxication (n=10). • RESULTS • In the one-week sample (n=73) there was no reference to drugs or alcohol in any of the cases. • Of the cases (n=10) the notes were unavailable (n=1), definite / possible referrals (n=6) or no referrals (n=3). http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/clinauditchap3.pdf

  11. EXAMPLE A2: FEEDBACK AND CHANGE • Findings discussed with a range of hospital services. • A process for gathering data and referring intoxicated children was agreed with A&E staff. • All agreed the audit should be completed yearly. http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/clinauditchap3.pdf

  12. Audit Makes a Great Project!

  13. Ethical Approval? • Decide if your project is research or audit? • Is it improving a service or generating new knowledge? • Discuss with your supervisors and NHS R&D unit (research and development) whether NHS ethics is required – this can vary from trust to trust. • Even if you don’t need ethics – the principles apply! (UHBristol NHS Trust Report).

  14. . There were no standards for evaluating performance. There was confusion throughout the NHS as to who was responsible for monitoring the quality of care. It is an account of a hospital where there was a ‘club culture’; an imbalance of power, with too much control in the hands of a few individuals. “Learning from Bristol” 2001.
