Welcome to BTS Audit Tools
The programme of BTS National Audits for 2011/12 and 2012/13 appears below. BTS National Audits are included on the list of NCAAG approved audits for:
2009/10 Quality Accounts
2010/11 Quality Accounts
2012/13 Quality Accounts
The audit tools are available outside the National Audit Periods for local use (and will allow users to compare their local data with the national picture, but this local data will not contribute to the national dataset). Summary reports for each National Audit are available via the links below. Individual reports are accessed via the audit website and are only available to those institutions that have successfully submitted data.
You need to register before you can use the BTS Audit Tools. Once registered you will have access to all the audits you request and will not need to re-register for subsequent audits.

COPD Audit for 2011/12
BTS is developing a short COPD audit tool (focusing primarily on discharge planning) which will be offered in Spring 2012. More information will be made available on the BTS audit system in due course.
In addition to reports for individual hospitals, each of the completed audits has a general 'overview' or summary, available below. These reports were first published in our audit tool newsletters – also available below.
