Description
Clinical governance is a system through which NHS organizations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services
and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish. It is at the heart
of the current government's plans for reform of the NHS. This account of clinical governance is in particular aimed at giving a practical
guide to doctors and medical students as to how the topic is integrated into their day to day medical work. It aims to relate what sounds
an abstract concept to the practice of clinical medicine.
Audience
Medical students, Junior doctors, Nurses.
