Take part in the National Audit for Small Animal Neutering

Neutering is a common procedure, and a great way for you to start your auditing journey. The National Audit for Small Animal Neutering (NASAN) is a free audit tool that allows veterinary teams to measure post-operative complication rates for the neutering of small animals.

Carry out an audit and submit your data to be included in the 2027 national benchmarking report.
