Morbidity audits

You are here:

The College is a leading advocate for the use of audit to improve surgical practice. Based on the success of the National Breast Cancer Audit and the Audit of Endovascular Repair, the College envisages the development of clinical audits for all surgical specialties.

Australian and New Zealand Gastric and Oesophageal Surgical Association (ANZGOSA) Audit

The ANZGOSA Audit is an initiative of the Australian and New Zealand Gastric and Oesophageal Surgical Association (ANZGOSA). It has been set up to collect and store clinical and pathological data of patients undergoing surgery for oesophago-gastric cancer or gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) with data submitted by practising members of the ANZGOSA.

Bi-National Colorectal Cancer Audit

The Bi-National Colorectal Cancer Audit is an initiative developed for and managed by the Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand.

National Breast Cancer Audit

The National Breast Cancer Audit is a quality improvement tool developed by the Breast Section of the College with the aim of improving the surgical care and management of all women and men with early breast cancer in Australia and New Zealand through the careful collection and analysis of audit data and the application of a full cycle of clinical audit. The audit is now directed by the Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand (BreastSurgANZ).

Rural Procedural Audit

The Rural Procedural Audit (RPA) provides support for rural centres and individual rural-based clinicians from the participating colleges to collect and analyse audit data on designated procedures using an electronic data collection tool. The RPA is a partnership between the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
