Raising the Standards: RCoA Quality Improvement Compendium
The Quality Improvement Compendium, previously known as the Audit Recipe Book, provides a manual of quality improvement (QI) and audit tools for anaesthetists. From 2026 each chapter will be reviewed and updated on a rolling annual basis and will follow the publication of the corresponding GPAS chapter. In some cases, this will necessitate the development of a new QI chapter to complement the existing GPAS chapter.
The recipes are authored by anaesthetists with extensive experience in their area and each chapter is edited by a team of subject matter and QI experts.
All revised and new chapters (from 2026 onwards) are edited by Dr Sam Warnakulasuriya
The previous (4th) edition was edited by Dr Maria Chereshneva, Dr Carolyn Johnston, Dr John R Colvin and Professor Carol J Peden.
