    • The findings underscore a gap between the perceived importance of audit and the practical support available.

    Conclusions:

    • Junior doctors recognize the value of clinical audit for professional development and practice evaluation.
    • Difficulties in data collection represent a major obstacle to effective audit participation among junior doctors.
    • Targeted support and resources are vital to empower junior doctors to actively engage in and benefit from clinical audit programs.
