Keep taking the tablets? Evidence-based approaches to AD(H)D. Part 2: Audit and changing practice.
The audit cycle was used to look at our practice in the light of new developments in the literature and the new evidence available to us. Using this new information we were able to refine our practice, set new standards and measure our practice against these new standards. This new information allowed us to further develop new ways of making our assessment and to implement this into our practice. We still need to continue the audit cycle by revisting the process, and auditing other parts of our service to children and young people diagnosed as having Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder.
