[@saminathapaliya4062]

Thank you for this informative video!

[@fatusirasaq5618]

Thank you so much for sharing. I understand better what clinical audit is all about now.

[@plabmadeeasy]

I am glad! Thanks for watching!

[@fatusirasaq5618]

Can you do something on service evaluation too, please?

[@Abi_ebenezer]

I wished i had found your video months ago. Thank you so much

[@plabmadeeasy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@faraz1231]

That was excellent!
Although the most difficult part in my view is to present someone's deficiencies to them and expect them to take it well and implement it... 😬

[@mariashah6065]

Very helpful 👍

[@plabmadeeasy]

I'm glad!

[@shivanishanmugavel3931]

Hi! Could you please elaborate on the best timeline to do an audit? I can't understand if we're supposed to do it after our plab 1 and 2 or beforehand. Thanks in advance!

[@helheimpanda]

Hi love this video but I do have a question, can you do an audit in out patient department and not a hospital? There is an OPD where I work and it's not a hospital. Can we perform an audit there?

[@amrithanandr]

Hi Ashish! Could you please give me ideas on the kind of audits I could with A & E?

[@yuktiraval822]

From where to download audit template

[@newtonraj5921]

I have just completed my first year MBBS in India. Am I eligible to do audit

[@rida5492]

Can I do the Clinical Audit in my home country before my PLAB? Can the supervisor be a senior doctor and not a consultant working as Clinical manager in the Hospital?

[@plabmadeeasy]

Yes you can do that!

[@shubhammishra7044]

Should it be considered as Plagiarism if one redo an audit which is already published at RCR's website?

[@plabmadeeasy]

No, you can take the model and apply at your own hospital

[@annuraj6500]

thanks a lot. in my hospital, i have noticed couple of problems like, long waiting time in opd for patients, delay in getting blood reports in ward, delay in getting radiology reports
can an audit be done for the above problems?

[@plabmadeeasy]

Definitely!

[@annuraj6500]

Thanks for the quick reply.

[@annuraj6500]

But there is no national guideline against which these can be measured.
Can I set my own guideline or it can be as per NSH or any other international standard.?

[@MubeenNawaz14]

Hi, how to select your audit data sample size??

[@plabmadeeasy]

Go for 50-100 data points

[@drgarvitnama9362]

Hi Ashish, can you tell me how long did it take for you to complete the whole audit process?

[@plabmadeeasy]

It took around 3-4 months.

[@JaskaranSingh-sd4sr]

sir my questions are-
1- can u name some publications in which these audits as well as researches are to be published
That they are acceptable in uk?
2- what publications should not be used for publishing ur work ?
3. Upto what number your name must be there in audit or research so as to be acceptable in uk?

[@JaskaranSingh-sd4sr]

????

[@ria7470]

Hello, Thank you so much for uploading this. Really helpful.
Quick Qs ; Open to anyone in the comments as well.
I'm doing an audit currently, is adding a re-audit as a plan of action required? Or are discussion and posters sufficient? I don't have much time as I am doing an attachment.

[@plabmadeeasy]

Yes re-auditing is better.

[@ria7470]

@@plabmadeeasy Thank you so much for replying. Unfortunately, I won’t be associated with the hospital when the time for re-auditing arises which is why I may have to omit it from my plan of action.
Will that have an impact on the quality of the QIP?

[@plabmadeeasy]

@@ria7470 Yes. It will not be a complete cycle audit.

[@mansisrivastava7749]

Thank you for such great video explaination sir.
It would really be appreciated if you could clear some of my doubts :-
1.As a medical intern, do we need to have a official guide to carry out an audit?
2. Is there a minimum limit on the no. Of patients we are collecting data of? (Eg. Atleast 50 patient sample)
3. If i want to do a clinical audit regarding some topic that has previously been done in some other institute , is it valid or it won't be accepted.
4. After ethical comittee gives clearance to my proposal and after completion of the audit , where are we supposed to submit the data to?
5. Finally, my medical UG college doesnot have a Audit department but PSM dept is there... So does that mean I cannot do this audit??

[@davidverma2588]

Hey, let me know if you get answers of these anywhere

[@musicare7939]

Sir , I had take 2 drops to get in to mbbs will this effect the chances of getting a non training job in uk ?
Sir please clarify my doubt clearly 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@plabmadeeasy]

It won’t much!

[@sarahamro3324]

thank you , but i have a question , in my home country we don't have a department for audit , so how i can get my audit to be recognized or approved ? as i saw you had many audit specific papers also you had a certificate of completion of audit , but in my country we don't have that , so what to do ?

[@shahiqcheeko8890]

had the same question, any update that you can give regarding this issue?

[@drdoctor3961]

Can the same be done in India while doing a job as junior resident with the help of the consultants ? What proof is required to show that we did it in our home country.. a certificate at the end? As there is no hospital here where audits are done! Or the whole data should be maintained as a proof?

[@plabmadeeasy]

Yes, A certificate should be enough.

[@shrutibhatia2531]
