Compliance with the NICE guidelines on indications for requesting and vetting CT Head scans and the recommended target for the time to scan from vetting was demonstrated. The findings of this audit were presented at a departmental meeting where the scope was discussed for improving the reporting time, with confounding factors such as acute CT list training reports awaiting senior review and verification, and the use of outsourcing on-call data. An annual re-audit is recommended.
