Thyroid Nodule Management and Compliance With Guidelines in a District General Hospital in London: A Retrospective Study

This audit demonstrates high compliance with the BTA 2014 guidelines, with near-universal documentation of U-scores and appropriate use of FNAC in most cases. While deviations were minimal and often clinically justified, there remains scope to improve standardization and adherence through targeted education and resource support. Continued emphasis on guideline-driven practice is essential to ensure optimal management of thyroid nodules and efficient use of clinical resources.

Abstract

This audit demonstrates high compliance with the BTA 2014 guidelines, with near-universal documentation of U-scores and appropriate use of FNAC in most cases. While deviations were minimal and often clinically justified, there remains scope to improve standardization and adherence through targeted education and resource support. Continued emphasis on guideline-driven practice is essential to ensure optimal management of thyroid nodules and efficient use of clinical resources.
