The system through which NHS Organisations are accountable for continually improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish. Good governance ensures structures, systems and processes are in place; it enables scrutiny of performance and the ability to act on poor practice and other problems and how we identify and manage risks, whether in terms of patient care, to staff, and to the organisation as a whole.

- Care Quality Commission (CQC)
- Central Alert System (CAS)
- Clinical Audit
- Datix Cloud IQ (DCIQ)
- Freedom of Information (FOI) requests
- Health and Safety
