Audit a sensible size, i.e. if only 50
patients have the condition, audit all, otherwise a random sample
of good size will be acceptable.
For further information see the following advice on audit
Is there a set timescale within which to
re-audit?
No, but make sure the evidence is less than two years old.
Can the audit and case study workload for
Attached Staff be adjusted??
Example scenario: There is one Health Visitor in the practice
who is not based in the building and works part time. Can they just
do one audit and one case study, since the workload seems
disproportionate otherwise?
Answer: We are very aware that this section can look daunting for
some teams. All the criteria for QPA have to be met in order for
the practice to receive the award, so non-completion may mean that
the practice cannot apply. Remember to remind your community nurses
that they can use QPA work for their PREP (CPD).
If your Primary Care Organisation is
simply unable to recruit a Health Visitor, or if there is long-term
absence, please phone us for advice specific to your
circumstances.
Is there any advice on undertaking
patient or carer interviews?
