Is audit a task for nurses?
Psychiatric nurses in the residential sector of St George's Hospital in Morpeth, Northumberland, worked with a quality coordinator to devise a means of auditing the quality of care in their wards. Their major objective was to bring the process to the grass roots of nursing care and involve front-line staff in designing and carrying it out.
