Product Description

Clinical governance is a statutory duty required of clinicians and managers alike. It covers a number of areas, including the various systems and structures necessary for implementing processes, such as clinical audit, research and development, critical appraisal, clinical risk management, clinical effectiveness, education and training, and guidelines and professional development. This volume pulls together these threads and explains what clinical governance means. It gives clinical examples from different areas of practice and draws on national policies and initiatives. The book should be useful to practising nurses and those in education who are required to follow some form of continuous professional development, many of whom will take a range of both clinical and academic courses at diploma, first or higher degree level.
