Description

Develop a culture of excellence and safety, hand-in-hand with competitiveness

Clinical Governance has become the backbone for ensuring that NHS organisations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care, by creating an environment in which clinical excellence will flourish. Since its inception in 1998 its prominence has consistently grown and its profile widened to encompass an ever growing set of clinical and non-clinical influences. Despite this, many front line service providers feel inadequately equipped with the knowledge, skills and resources to ensure that Clinical Governance delivers all that it promises. This practical, comprehensive and interactive 1-day course provides you with the essential knowledge and tools you need to drive forward service development and progression with increased quality and patient safety is at the heart and where the whole multidisciplinary team wants to be involved because of their recognition of the true benefits Clinical Governance delivers.
