Review
Clinical Governance: Making it Happen was given a three star rating in a recent review by the BMJ "This book comprises 13 chapters by various contributors addressing aspects of clinical governance. The chapters cover organisational, legal, educational, informational, and patient perspectives and an extremely useful guide to sources of information. The contributions are of a high standard, notwithstanding the different style and approach of each... Clinical Governance will be a useful handbook for practitioners in the field who are charged with implementing this important new system." Clinical Governance: Making it Happen has also been recently reviewed in the Health Service Journal "A well-timed book such as this will allay the gathering panic about clinical governance by helping all those concerned to take a long, hard look at what needs to be done...The obligations of clinicians, managers and boards are clear, and this book will do much to help them all to honour them." Nursing Standard, July 2002 "Aimed at clinicians and managers working in trusts as well as purchasers of healthcare...It would also be a helpful resource for those in education."
