<jats:p>Aims to show that audit and feedback could improve the prescribing of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to women with a history of hysterectomy. Describes a randomised controlled trial involving 28 practices and covering a total of 3,169 women with a baseline coded history of hysterectomy. In addition to data extraction and feedback, intervention practices were given educational material and audit support. A rise in prescribing was evident in both younger and older women. There was also evidence of significant improvement in the appropriate prescribing of HRT. Concludes that prescribing feedback linked with educational material and audit can improve the prescribing of HRT in primary care in women with a history of hysterectomy and that this technique has wider application in the new era of clinical governance.</jats:p>
