HQIP launches Good Governance Guide for provider boards

6 January 2012

HQIP is pleased to release the Good Governance Guide - a further free resource as part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring the provider boards of health and social care organisations pay attention to good practice in governance.

"The challenges facing providers are immense, and the need for them to focus on matters of quality and probity were highlighted in our previous board guidance on clinical audit," commented HQIP Chief Executive Robin Burgess. "Good quality clinical care flows from good governance at board level, where clinical governance is fully integrated into governance as a whole. This new resource is a general guide to good, integrated governance, and offers in one single, easy to use handbook all the key essentials of governance that in turn will ensure high quality care for patients."

The Good Governance Guide is part of an ongoing sequence of new resources aimed at governance. Shortly, two new learning resources will follow for non-executive directors (NEDs) and for internal auditors, and then for medical or nursing directors on boards. The whole set of resources is designed to ensure the place of good clinical governance and oversight of clinical effectiveness within integrated board governance practice.
