DAFNE centre audits were paused in March 2020 due to Covid-19.  Since then we have been looking at how we can improve the audit experience, with the DAFNE Executive Board approving the changes in May 2021.

We have amended the domains that will be included in the audit. We will develop more supportive action plans and progress against action plans and interim reports will form part of the biannual support calls with centre buddies. 

The audit will be moving from a 3-yearly to an annual event, looking at outcomes for the previous 2-years. 

The plan is to reintroduce centre audits in 2023, so that we avoid 2020 and 2021 which were so severely impacted by covid.  In the 2023 audits we will be looking at data for courses delivered in 2021 and post course data from 2022.  This will also tie the audit into the national outcome audits.  These will continue to be desk top audits.

We will provide more information as we develop this, using network meetings and support calls to share information.
