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.
