Trusted Data Insights. Improved Outcomes.
The NOCA Strategy 2026–2029 sets out our priorities for strengthening the contribution of national clinical audit to healthcare quality, patient safety and improved outcomes across Ireland.

This includes embracing opportunities presented by digital transformation, interoperability and advances in data analytics, while maintaining our commitment to independent, transparent and high-quality national clinical audit.
