Abstract

FNT Departments in the united kingdom are faced with increasing, managementand the colleges responsible for surgical training to intrtoduce formal medical self audit. The plethora of guidelines and publi-cations on the subject rarely address the differences in clinical pratice medicine or surgery and that of otoaryngology. Clearly the lead in the introduction of medical audit will come from the appropriate specilaist associations; however. this paper aims to share the experienceof the implementation of audit otoaryngology, head and neck surgery unit and offer suggestions for a programme elsewhere.
