General practitioners in training show positive attitudes toward audit, but many trainees struggle to complete the audit cycle. This hinders their development of essential skills for ensuring lifelong quality patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Quality Improvement
  • General Practice Training

Background:

  • Audit is a key component of vocational training for general practitioners.
  • Understanding the experiences and attitudes of trainers and trainees regarding audit is crucial for effective medical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the attitudes and experiences of general practitioner trainers and trainees concerning audit activities.
  • To identify barriers to completing the audit cycle within vocational training programs.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 155 trainers and their trainees in West Scotland.
  • Data were collected from 235 respondents, achieving an 85% response rate from trainers and 67% from trainees.

Main Results:

  • Both trainers and trainees expressed highly positive attitudes towards audit for assessing work, resource utilization, time management, and improving patient care.
  • While a majority of trainers had initiated or completed audit cycles, a significant proportion of trainees had not, particularly in completing the full audit cycle (12%).

Conclusions:

  • Despite positive attitudes, trainees face challenges in completing audit cycles, potentially limiting their acquisition of critical skills for ongoing quality assurance in patient care.
  • Interventions may be needed to support trainees in completing audit cycles to ensure they develop necessary skills for lifelong quality improvement.
