Good luck to the Bristol and Plymouth teams starting their data collection today! We hope everything runs smoothly, and let us know how it goes! We have come a long way since our first audit which had 3 sites, this new audit will include data from over 20 sites!

Excited to be starting our second audit this month! This audit will be looking at the anti-cholinergic burden of medications in individuals with dementia. We hope this audit will give us more information about how well this issue is addressed on in-patient wards across the UK.
