Celebrating Impactful Change Through Clinical Audit
Healthcare Conference UK is proud to spotlight Clinical Audit Awareness Week 2025 (CAAW) a national initiative led by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) and supported by the National Quality Improvement (N-QI-CAN) Network.
Running from 2 to 6 June 2025, this campaign celebrates the critical role of clinical audit and quality improvement in enhancing patient care, driving accountability, and supporting a culture of continuous learning across the NHS and wider healthcare system.
This year’s campaign shines a spotlight on the vital role clinical audit plays in improving patient care, safety, and system learning. With a focus on leadership, data, and collaboration, CAAW25 provides a platform for knowledge-sharing and recognition across the NHS and healthcare sector.
Why It Matters

-
Improve patient outcomes and safety
-
Promote evidence-based practice
-
Support learning health systems
-
Encourage data-driven decision-making
