CLINICAL AUDIT

 

FOCUS OF AUDIT

YEAR

OUTCOME

Dacryoscintigraphy correlation to CT DCG & role in surgical choice

2009

To establish the sensitivity & specificity of scintigraphy, correlation with CT DCG & choice of surgery. Excellent correlation found.

DCR surgical results

2008

Should non oculoplastic do DCR’s, Departmental success rates.92.4% vs 75%.

Conscious Sedation

2006 -2009

Prospective pain scoring, excellent patient satisfaction & low pain scores.

Lateral Tarsal Strip patient satisfaction survey

2006

2007

Patient Satisfaction Survey of 100 consecutive LTS’s done with absorbable sutures with success rates. No suture related morbidity & 97% satisfaction & success.

Microscopic vs Macroscopic clearance

Of BCC

2006

11% needed rexcision prior to reconstruction. Clearance aimed 3mm mean clearance achieved 2.3mm.

Basal cell carcinoma: excision & recurrence rates

2001

The use of a marginal strip was a very accurate predictor of complete tumour resection.

Trans‑scleral Diode laser Cyclophotocoagulation

1999

Excellent short to medium term success in intractable glaucoma.

Chlamydia Conjunctivitis: investigations & referral patterns

1998

Poor yield of positive conjunctival swabs from ophthalmic casualty and Hospital compared to those performed by GP’s.

Refractive outcomes of small incision cataract surgery

1998

Rates of induced astigmatism and refractive errors were comparable to national and international standards.

School vision screening: accuracy and referral rates

1998

Recommendations were adopted and reaudit 2years later reflected the predicted outcomes.

The Management Of Posterior Uveitis

1995

A departmental protocol adopted
