1st Annual Clinical Audit Blitz

St Francis Hospice Dublin held its first annual Clinical Audit Blitz during Palliative Care Week in September 2024.

Excellence is a core value in St Francis Hospice, and clinical audit is an important tool for quality improvement as we strive to ensure the highest standard of care for our patients and their families.

Colleagues gathered in our education centres in both St Francis Hospice Raheny and Blanchardstown to watch and hear a variety of interesting presentations about a diverse range of audits carried out in recent times.

Huge congratulations to all our colleagues who participated and especially to Sinead Coyle, Senior Physiotherapist, on her winning presentation based on her audit of physiotherapy documentation that led to significant improvements in practice.

Thank you to our adjudicator Cathy Doyle, board director and member of our Board Quality and Risk Sub-Committee, and to Sheila O’Leary, Quality, Risk, and Patient Safety Manager, who organised the event.
