Member Feedback on Clinical Governance and Audit
- An excellent insight from a Dental Nurse's point of view for understanding the importance of Clinical Governance and how audits are carried out.
- This was excellent and the best example of an X-ray audit that I have found. It actually teaches you how and what to audit to assess and improve X-ray quality.
