Course description
Healthcare organisations have a duty to the communities they serve for maintaining the quality and safety of care. Whatever structures, systems and processes an organisation puts in place, it must be able to show evidence that standards are upheld. There must be policies, procedures, and tools to manage vendors, visitors, service providers, contractors, or anyone entering a facility to ensure that they fully comply with policies and requirements. An organisation whose governance abilities fall short in this area faces stiff penalties and fines.
Good clinical governance must support the early identification of risks and concerns that lead to individual, team, and wider organisational learning.
The aims and objectives of this programme are to improve healthcare professionals’ awareness of clinical governance and implement the necessary changes in their organisation. Join us to understand and implement the 7 pillars of clinical governance and improve your care.
