Clinical Governance Training

About the Course

Clinical governance is the system by which the governing body, managers, clinicians and staff share responsibility and accountability for the quality of care, continuously improving, minimising risks and fostering an environment of excellence in care for consumers.

Clinical Governance and Practice Improvement course will look at 2025's expectations of how an organisation achieves safe, high-quality care in an environment of rising expectations and cost pressures. Its intention is to simplify the concept of clinical governance and provide strategies to make it easier to achieve practice improvement.

We will start by discussing the origins of clinical governance and the systemic patient safety failures which have been judged publically as a failure in clinical governance. The impact this has had on the leadership teams, the reputation of these organisations and the wider community.

Then, we will systematically look at what effective clinical governance looks like in practice. Covering the key foundational patient safety initiatives used by high-performing organisations to enable practice improvement.

This discussion will give you the opportunity to consider ways to improve practice whilst improving the patient experience and meeting regulatory expectations.

We will finish by reflecting on the key indicators of clinical governance to help you prioritise where to start.
