Clinical Audit Awareness Week (13-17 June) – SWB patient safety audit heroes
June 10, 2022
Today we are focusing on clinical audit and patient safety and are highlighting colleagues who have been nominated to the national ‘Patient Safety Audit Hero’ competition, which is a brilliant celebration of their hard work:
- Anita Kaur used clinical audit methodology to improve understanding of and access to Hypo boxes, which helps improves patient safety for our diabetes patients
- Catherine Beatty and her team improved the referral process for audiology assessments for patients with hearing loss from childhood meningitis, meaning patients could receive the appropriate treatment in a timely manner.
- Corrine DaCosta ran a clinical audit on the neonatal unit which helped improve compliance with the Lullaby Trust standards for safer sleeping, which reduces the risk of sudden incident death syndrome.
