National Audits

The Network has an established position as a provider of National Audits. Teaming up with partners across primary care, acute, community and the mental health, learning disability and autism settings, we are best placed for insight and intelligence to underpin improvement work.

The Network embraces opportunities to deliver further National Audits as they arise, supporting health and social care improvement.

We are currently partners in 3 National Audits, CVDPREVENT, the National Audit of Care at the End of Life and NHS England Learning Disability Improvement Standards. Click on the sections below to find out more about the National Audits.

The Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Audit (CVDPREVENT) is part of a broader strategic objective outlined in the Long Term Plan to prevent 150,000 strokes, heart attacks and cases over dementia over the next ten years. The audit prioritises working with system partners to drive CVD quality improvement at individual GP, PCN and ICS level.

The National Audit of Care at the End of Life (NACEL) is a national comparative audit of the quality and outcomes of care experienced by the dying person and those important to them during the last admission leading to death in acute hospitals, community hospitals and inpatient providers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The NHS England Learning Disability Improvement Standards (NHSE LDIS) review is a national collection designed to understand the extent of organisational compliance with the NHSE Learning Disability Improvement Standards. It identifies improvement opportunities and reflects the strategic objectives and priorities described in national policies.
