| What is Clinical Governance? |
Clinical governance has been defined by the National Health Service as 'a framework through which NHS organisations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish' (NHSE, A First Class Service, 1998). But clinical governance should not be thought of as an exclusively NHS responsibility. All the ideas in this definition could apply in any sector of health care. The definition amounts to a statement that health care should have quality management, just like any other area of work activity.
