description This paper describes the use of the Royal College of Physicians 'stroke audit package' in an audit of the care of 156 patients. Recording of history and management compared favourably with that recorded on the RCP database. For a number of items, recording was significantly improved when a locally developed 'checklist', based on the RCP standards, was utilised by trainee medical staff. Benefits of the audit package, and proposed changes in practice, are briefly outlined.
