Sir—We read with interest the recent editorial in Clinical Radiology by Harding and McCoubrie on how best to educate future radiologists. Education and training effectiveness are, indeed, one of the fundamental components of clinical governance and alongside clinical experience and research, this has also been described as one pillar of “the tripartite mission of the specialty of radiology”.

While England remains one of the safest places in the world to give birth, the Taskf...

The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) 2008 report recognised the importance of 30-day mortality for patients receiving systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) .

After this recommendation, the uro-oncology team at The Christie presented their SACT 30-day mortality data for the period of January–December 2008. During this time, 230 patients with genitourina...

Abstract: The process of clinical audit has been around for many decades. Although often poorly understood and appreciated, audit is a process that aims to improve the care of patients and their outcomes by systematically reviewing the care that they receive and comparing it to certain defined criteria that may result in the implementation of change. The process of audit is part of a larger framework called clinical governance, whereby NHS organizations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care wil...
