#UnblindingResearch Session 1: Introduction to audit, quality improvement and research

This episode is a live recording of the first session of #UnblindingResearch held in NUH DREEAM 21st February 2018 presented by Jamie Thomas and Claudia Washbrook. The clinical research approach is briefly covered, discussing literature searches and how primary outcomes might affect the methodology as well as what secondary outcomes are. Audit is discussed with emphasis on the cyclical approach. Finally Quality Improvement Projects are covered, how they are linked to audit, the PDSA format (Plan, Do, Study, Act) and how it can be embedded across healthcare.
