Our plans for CAAW24
HQIP have announced that Clinical Audit Awareness Week will take place from 24 to 28 June, see their website for details. Over the years we have vocally supported CAAW. For 2024, please access HQIP and NQICAN resources as this is their event. We will not be providing bespoke materials for 2024, but there is a mountain of old CASC materials and resources you can access to help promote the week in June. Please be aware that we have no funding for CAAW – as it is not our event! Any requests for prizes, freebies, event sponsorship, etc should be directed towards HQIP and NQICAN. For us, it is critical to promote the value and importance of clinical audit all year round and that is what we strive to do. We will take part in #CAAW24, but we do not help organise the week.
CAAW23 is in the books
CAAW23 marked ten years of Clinical Audit Awareness Week and this year’s audit showcase ran from 19-23 June. Congratulations to all the local clinical audit teams who promoted the importance of clinical audit within their organisations. We will retain this section of our website so that people can see what support and materials we provided.
Our long service awards proved as popular as ever and we sent out awards during CAAW. We feel that it is important to recognise those who have worked in our profession for over 10 years. With this in mind, we have now created new e-banners that appear below. If you have worked in clinical audit for over 10 years or over 20 years you are welcome to download these and with the assistance of your IT department you should be able to embed these in your email signature.- 10 years in clinical audit award is available here.
- 20 years in clinical audit award is available here.

Clinical Audit for Dummies Guide
Our Clinical Audit for Dummies has proved very popular over the years and as the name suggests this 8-page guide is designed to help those new to clinical audit gain a rapid understanding of what is involved. The ‘Dummies Guide’ is practical and user-friendly. We updated the guide for CAAW23 and included a short section explaining how clinical audit and quality improvement inter-link. We also amended the signposting section, taking out details relating to Clinical Audit Support Centre and updating the section explaining why people should take part in clinical audit.

CAAW Quiz
Over the years we have created lots of quizzes for Clinical Audit Awareness Week. Although we had no plans to do one this year we have relented after being asked by lots of people. Here is our ‘Linkee Quiz’ for 2023. All you need to do is work out the word in the middle that links with the other two clues. Answers link to clinical audit and QI.
