    AbstractMedical audit has been slow to develop in psychiatry. While mental health services present important questions for audit, there are formidable technical problems such as standardising evaluation of the efficacy and efficiency of treatments and deciding who from the multidisciplinary team should be involved. Despite this the methods of case note review, examination of routine statistics, investigation of sentinel events, monitoring the use of compulsion and regular inspection of facilities all have an important role.
