The audit – this assignment helps to ‘set the scene’ for the final project work
It should be 1500 words ＝/-10%
The audit is formally marked and contributes 40% of your final mark. It is expected to be a small scale audit due to the limited time scale.
An audit is a measure of what ′we should be doing′ based on current ′best practice′.
The following gives a suggested layout for your audit write up, and may help in planning your work.

Objectives can be written to demonstrate how the aim will be achieved.

Criteria and Standard(s)
This is a brief but important part of the write up as it defines what you are measuring and what you will compare your findings with.
Criteria are the measures that you evaluate the subject matter against – the quality of care to be achieved based on what is considered current ‘best practice’ (often national guidelines such as NICE).
Your standard is a realistic percentage of people that should achieve the stated criteria within the practice being audited (how does your own practice compare to what is considered ‘best practice’).
State clearly your criteria and standards.
This section of the audit is important but normally quite short.
