National Clinical Audit of Perioperative Care (NCAPC)
National Clinical Audit of Perioperative Care (NCAPC)
NCAPC is a newly commissioned national audit which is being established to assess the quality and safety of perioperative services – encompassing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care – across NHS settings in England and Jersey.
What is NCAPC?
The RCoA Centre for Research and Improvement (RCoA-CR&I) are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the commission to develop and run the National Clinical Audit of Perioperative Care (NCAPC).
NCAPC is part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP), overseen by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) and funded by NHS England.
The programme will initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England and publicly funded care in Jersey for a three year period. It has a start date of 1 October 2025.
NCAPC will work closely alongside the Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC) and other stakeholders.
The programme will be led by clinical co-leads Professor John Moore and Professor Malcolm West.
