Description
Each GP Registrar needs to conduct an audit in order to get the necessary certificate to practice as a GP. This book provides unique guidance and information on how to undertake this audit, and has the potential to become the principal source of help for those wishing to apply for the certificate. The Eli Lilly Centre, where the three authors are based, is the foremost centre in the development of clinical audit.
