New guidance supports Audiology services to design and develop clinical peer review schemes to support quality assurance.

The British Society of Audiology (BSA) promotes good practice in audiology, including the publication of evidence-based guidance documents.

Brand new Practice Guidance, “Principles and Application of Clinical Peer Review in Audiology” is now available. The document aims to help support Audiology services to design and develop clinical peer review schemes within their services as a valuable tool to support quality assurance.

The purpose of the guidance is to provide concise, high-level guidance for application across UK Audiology practice that:

  • Defines clinical peer review in the context of the following mutually supportive goals:
    • improved quality of care and assurance of services and;
    • professional support, development and improvement for individual clinicians.
  • Describes the core principles of good clinical peer review schemes.
  • Promotes and informs development of procedure-specific peer review practices, that adhere to guiding principles of peer review.
  • Provide practical guidance to encourage a positive regard, efficient implementation and wider application of peer review, including collaborative clinical peer review programmes in Audiology.
  • Provide practical materials to support effective introduction of peer review.
