HIQA has responsibility for establishing national procedures for clinical audit of radiological procedures involving medical exposure to ionising radiation.
Clinical audit is an important tool that can be used to provide assurance that services are safe, reliable and of a high quality for patients and people who use the services.
It is the responsibility of an undertaking to ensure that clinical audit is carried out in line with these national procedures.
The national procedures set out the principles and essential criteria that services must follow to ensure compliance with the requirements of the regulations. Information on implementing clinical audit and examples for each type of setting is provided with some templates and resources that undertakings may find useful, with hyperlinked sections to facilitate easy navigation.
