Audit going well

My multi-disciplinary methotrexate audit seems to be going down well. I’ve asked five patients so far; one refused point blank, two filled it in there and then whiles they were waiting for their scripts, and two took them away and have both returned them.

People seem happy to complete the questionnaire if I tell them that the point of it is to see how well they are being managed on their methotrexate and if there are any areas where the local ‘health authority’ can improve services.

So far, all the patients seem to be very well informed and very well looked after. One thing that doing this audit does, is make you really bone-up on all aspects of methotrexate treatment so that you can readily answer any questions (good for the CPD as well!).
