Clinical Audit Awareness Week 2024

The next Clinical Audit Awareness Week (#CAAW24) will be held from 24-28 June 2024, and features the Clinical Audit Heroes Awards (more below). Run in collaboration with the National Quality Improvement (incl. Clinical Audit) Network (N-QI-CAN), it is a national campaign to promote and celebrate the benefits and impact of clinical audit and quality improvement work in healthcare.

Get involved

It is important for the wider health and care sector to get involved in this campaign, to share the value of taking an evidence-informed approach to service design. As such, we ask that Trusts and other providers get on board by organising local activities during Clinical Audit Awareness Week. You can get your wider organisation involved in this campaign by encouraging others to submit award nomination(s), organising events, and by sharing news of your activities. To support this, we have created a free online toolkit of resources you can download and share. Don’t forget to use #CAAW24 when sharing on social media!

We will also be announcing events, resources and more, aimed at promoting the benefits of translating data and evidence into meaningful quality improvement, during #CAAW24 – and we will share them on this page. So far, please note…
