Recent guidelines recommend that where appropriate, procedures for the development of audit in medicine and professions allied to medicine can be replaced by comprehensive multidisciplinary audit of services. The Royal College of Psychiatrists (1990) suggests that clinical audit, involving the work of other staff in the multidisciplinary team, is preferable to purely medical audit. Given the importance of team work in child psychiatry, it seems appropriate to establish a system of audit which enables all disciplines to be involved.
