Audit and Standards Activities

Organisational Audit, Radiopharmacy Audit, Clinical Audit, Scientific and Technical Audit

Organisational Audit

To promote the adoption of agreed standards and to secure peer group assessment of compliance with such standards.

Margaret Hall is the representative for organisational audits:audits@bnms.org.uk

Radiopharmacy Audit

To promote standards in Radiopharmacy, defined by leading Radiopharmacists, and approved by the Royal Pharmacological Society and the BNMS.

Clinical Audit

For "smaller disciplines", should be on a geographical or Regional basis, rather than a Trust or District basis, and to provide a model framework to support it.

Richard Graham is the representative for Clinical Audits:audits@bnms.org.uk

Scientific and Technical Audit

To ensure the delivery of a safe service in a safe environment to ensure technical quality control of equipment, etc. to liaise closely with IPEM and, where appropriate, BIR, RCR and the College of Radiographers, to ensure professional development of scientific and technical staff working within Nuclear Medicine

Organisational Audit

We are pleased to relaunch the BNMS organisational audit tool in the form of QUANUM. It is suggested that Nuclear Medicine Departments aim to complete the use of the audit tool twice in a 5 year cycle. The first audit should take the form of an internal departmental audit. The second audit should be an invited external audit carried out by BNMS. Satisfactory completion of two audit cycles (one internal, one external) will lead to the award of a BNMS Certificate of Departmental Accreditation.

Organisational Audit is a process of peer review of the structure and the delivery of service within a Department.

BNMS Auditors are bound by standards agreed by BNMS Council. The process has been found to be of significant benefit to audited departments.
