This module brings together the principles and practice of Governance in the healthcare environment at a strategic level.  With a particular focus on Clinical Governance, it promotes an understanding of the accountability frameworks for professional and other healthcare staff.  Emphasis will be placed on the key areas of policy and models of governance, risk management and safety, legal and ethical issues, evidence-based practice, quality and metrics and organisational culture and teamwork.  This will help to develop an understanding of the dynamics of clinical governance in practice, at professional and organisational level, in a challenging setting that is demanding a consistently better quality of care in a more compassionate environment.
