Clinical Auditor

Working within the Clinical Audit and Research Unit (CARU), the Clinical Audit Officer is responsible for undertaking clinical audit projects aimed at producing changes to London Ambulance Service (LAS) practices and improving the quality of care delivered to our patients. This includes examining the appropriateness of the treatment given by ambulance crews to the patient (in accordance with clinical guidelines) and the suitability of the level of the emergency response provided (e.g. response times, type of vehicle deployed, etc.). The Clinical Audit Officer designs and sets-up projects; collects, inputs and analyses data, writes reports and formulates recommendations for changes to practice. They also support other staff undertaking clinical audit, both internally and externally, by providing individual tuition and contributing to clinical audit training sessions.

• Undertaking clinical audit projects
• Meeting administration
• Dissemination of clinical audit findings
• Promotion of an Evidence-Based culture

Our strategy 2023-2028 outlines how we plan to achieve this, and is centred upon three missions focused on:

• Our care – delivering outstanding emergency and urgent care whenever and wherever needed.
• Our organisation – being an increasingly inclusive, well-led and highly skilled organisation people are proud to work for.
• Our London – using our unique pan-London position to contribute to improving the health of the capital.

To achieve these three missions we have set ourselves 50 commitments to deliver over the next five years. In developing these ambitious commitments, we have engaged extensively both inside our organisation, with our partners and with our patients, and we have analysed population trends and horizon scanned the future.
