- I want to take on a challenge
- I want to learn about auditing

I want to take on a challenge
Take on our audit challenge
This Clinical Audit Awareness Week, we are challenging practices to complete an audit.
You could audit your practice's post-operative neutering outcomes, compare them to the 2025 National Audit for Small Animal Neutering (NASAN) benchmarking report, and submit your data for inclusion in future reports.
Whether it's an audit for one day, one week, or the whole month of June, all data matters.
- Download the spreadsheet to start your audit here.
- Compare your results to the latest benchmark report here. (New report coming in June!)
- Submit your data here.
If you are taking part in the challenge, you can use these social media banners to spread the word.
I want to learn about auditing
