Clinical Governance

Clinical Governance is about quality. It is the term we use to describe the things we do to help Trusts provide a quality service to patients that is continually checked and improved upon. It is Clinical Governance that helps us to make the Trust's visions and values an everyday reality.

Whatever your job, as an employee of the Trust, you have everything to do with Clinical Governance. As we are all employed for the benefit of patients, Clinical Governance is and must be everybody's business.

The Department of Health gives guidance for Clinical Governance on its web site at www.doh.gov.uk/clinicalgovernance/
