Clinical governance describes the structures, processes and culture needed to ensure that healthcare organisations and all individuals within them can assure the quality of the care they provide and are continuously seeking to improve it.
The main components of clinical governance include: risk management, clinical audit, education training and CPD, evidence based care, patient and carer involvement and staffing and management. If you would like further details on our clinical governance policy, please contact Sara Roper, the practice manager on bswicb.heartofbath@nhs.net.
