| Abstract: | Decision making in surgery is based on contemporary hard data describing outcomes in a particular patient population. As a professional body, with powers of self regulation and peer review, we need to be cognisant of the expected norm of practice. This can only be derived from information that is shared amongst our colleagues both locally and abroad. We have the responsibility to contribute to this database by way of audit in a rigourous and honest fashion and to utilise it routinely in the management of our patients. |
