AUDIT/GOVERNANCE MEETINGS
| Key point |
| 42% of hospitals do not hold audit meetings in their endoscopy department. |
The BSG Report1 recommends that there should be clear responsibility for the organisation of departmental meetings, which should form the basis of departmental audit. The Report also recommends that nurse endoscopists should undertake audit as a fundamental part of their role.
We asked whether units held regular audit/governance meetings as opposed to
multidisciplinary team meetings. Five hospitals did not answer this question but of those that did, 58% (110/189) held audit meetings and 17% (19/110) of these were for doctors alone. The frequency of meetings varied from weekly to greater than bi-monthly, with 68% (75/110) having meetings bi-monthly or more regularly (Figure 7).
