Audit & quality improvement
LEARN MOREHow our members and Fellows benefit
CPD credits
Fellows and members can choose to undertake local re-audits after participating in a national project, with one CPD credit awarded for each hour taken to complete an audit. An additional credit can also be claimed for completing a reflective learning record and a further credit for completing an impact record.
Note, within each radiology department, there is usually an Audit Lead who liaises with the RCR.
Abstracts and ePosters
Abstracts of audit and QI ePosters that are accepted for display at Learning Live are published in Clinical Radiology, with first and second prize awarded cheques. Lead authors of ePosters gain three CPD credits, and co-authors one.
Audit template libraries
A collection of audit templates, with downloadable data collection forms for local use. These provide ideas and methodologies for those undertaking audits for revalidation or planning the annual forward programme. View the Clinical Oncology or Clinical Radiology audit libraries.
