Abstract:
This paper describes a prospective audit of all induced abortions performed between May and July 2000, in a Buckinghamshire district general hospital, to evaluate practice compared to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Guidelines (RCOG Evidence-Based Guideline No. 7, 2000). Areas for improvement were identified and department guidelines were produced to address these. This audit highlights how change can be implemented when local practice is audited against national guidelines.
