Developing strategic leadership of clinical governance through a programme for NHS boards

Abstract

National Health Service trust boards are constantly challenged to achieve a balance between their resources and meeting the needs of the communities they serve. In addition, the scientific, technological, political and economic factors, which influence health and social care, are driving change more rapidly than ever before in the Health Service. As part of its function to support NHS organisations with the implementation of clinical governance, the NHS Clinical Governance Support Team (CGST) has developed a strategic development programme for trust boards. The aim of the programme is to develop the board’s capability to meet its responsibilities for governance and the delivery of safe, high quality patient care.
