Please note: Information will be updated when new survey system launches.
Any individual or group (one of whom must be an OAA member) wishing to have an audit project carried out under through the OAA should first register on this website (or login if already registered).
Once registered, you will be able to create your survey proposal and submit it to the OAA survey committee for consideration.
You will be asked to confirm that your survey proposal:
- Does not duplicate any previous OAA Surveys
- Is relevant to obstetric anaesthesia
- Has no commercial advertising in the surveys
Surveys will be assessed every three months by the survey committee. The deadline for submissions are:
- 31 March
- 30 June
- 30 September
- 31 December
After these deadlines all surveys submitted in the previous three months will be peer reviewed by the OAA's survey committee. Comments, suggestions for improvement, rejection etc are collated by the chair and authors should receive a reply within four weeks.
The most important and relevant surveys submitted will be selected to go forward to the revision and reassessment stage. Once final approval has been given, authors will be sent an OAA 'seal of approval' and a survey number.
A deposit of £150 is made by the OAA for use of the online system which goes towards maintenance and costs (including monitoring, author assistance, loading data for participants etc). This amount will be refunded in full once the OAA receives a full report on the completed survey.
