title: The Scottish Otolaryngology Audit--laryngeal cancer audit.
abstract: Regional otolaryngological societies offer a valuable mechanism for the conduct of medical audit. The experience of the audit subcommittee of the Scottish Otolaryngological Society over the last few years is reviewed and a description is given of the findings of an audit of the management of laryngeal cancer in Scotland. The data collection infrastructure currently employed is described and emphasis is placed on the importance of 'ownership' of audit by those participating.
