NOCA meeting

A key component of quality in patient care is reviewing and learning from clinical audit findings. In major trauma audit, reviews should be undertaken where a patient with a high probability of survival score (Ps) dies or where a patient with a low probability of survival survives. The process of review is key to improving quality of care.
