Implementing clinical governance in Trusts

Abstract

The implementation of clinical governance presents a major challenge for NHS Trusts. The article provides a summary of the background to implementing governance; the results of locally organised research in an NHS Trust reveals clinicians’ perceptions and attitudes to implementing clinical governance and the lessons for NHS chief executives. The research provides a valuable insight into the implementation issues which Trusts need to address and the basis for trying to address these in their own organisation.
