National Clinical Audit Advisory Group

The National Clinical Audit Advisory Group (NCAAG) has been established, to drive the reinvigoration programme and provide a national focus for discussion and advice on matters relating to clinical audit.  The NCAAG will also be the steering group for the expanded National Clinical Audit and Patients’ Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP).   Its functions can be summarised as:

• to drive the reinvigoration of clinical audit, both nationally and locally, yielding new publicly available information to support improvements to clinical practice and service delivery
• to be steering group to the NCAPOP, providing advice and guidance on the overall programme of work, and in particular to consider proposals for new audits or for discontinuing existing audits
• to advise on issues as requested by the Department of Health

Nick Black, Professor of Health Services Research at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, has been appointed to chair NCAAG.
