This interactive workshop explores how clinical audit can be used as a practical tool to improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) across all veterinary sectors. Suitable for the whole practice team, including those working towards or maintaining RCVS Practice Standards Scheme accreditation, the session demonstrates how a simple, adaptable audit framework can be applied in everyday practice. Using examples from the Veterinary Prescribing Champions (VPC) Network, delegates will gain insight into how audit can support better prescribing decisions, team engagement, and continuous improvement, and how to overcome common challenges such as time constraints and data collection.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand the role of clinical audit in supporting AMS and professional standards.
• Identify simple, realistic ways to implement audit in practice.
• Recognise common prescribing trends and effective interventions.
• Gain confidence in engaging the wider team in audit activity.
• Leave with a practical audit idea and tools to get started in their own practice.

Participants will leave with practical tips, templates, and inspiration to use clinical audit as a meaningful tool for improving patient care, not simply as a compliance exercise.
