The College Research Unit was established initially with donations from College members. After a year of pilot work and fund-raising a programme of work began in October 1990 supported by a three-year grant from the Department of Health. The main theme of the programme is clinical audit. This report outlines the nature and role of audit in psychiatry, describes the structure of the Unit, and presents a brief summary of the Unit's work.
