Abstract  Background
Healthcare organizations are required to have a comprehensive clinical audit programme. However, previous research has identified a variety of factors that can influence the effectiveness of these programmes. These factors include leadership commitment, feedback mechanisms, staff involvement, and available resources such as training, team dynamics, data collection processes, and the efficiency of reporting mechanisms. 

Aims & Methodology
This research project aimed to explore the perceptions of nurses and allied health professionals regarding clinical audits within a private hospital in the UK. Semi-structured surveys were used to collect data from 30 staff members, which represented 100% of the registered nurses and allied health professionals actively involved in or leading clinical audit projects.

With over 15 years of diverse international experience across the Philippines, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom, I began my career in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I have developed expertise in Medical and Surgical Nursing, Quality Improvement, Staff Development, and Clinical Governance. Having worked across public, private, and charity sectors, I adhere to international standards set by organizations such as JCI, CBAHI, and CQC. My focus has been on performance, compliance, clinical effectiveness, and patient-centred care, with a strong background in clinical audits, electronic patient records, and risk management. I hold a Master’s in Medical Science, specializing in Clinical Governance and Audit, and am currently advancing my expertise through a postgraduate course in Medical Education.
