Overview
Clinical governance is a cornerstone of modern healthcare, particularly in general practice, where consistent, high-quality patient care is essential. The GP - Clinical Governance course is designed to help GPs, practice managers, nurses, and allied health professionals understand and implement clinical governance in accordance with UK regulations and best practices. It begins with an introduction to the principles of clinical governance, tracing its historical evolution and exploring the legal and regulatory frameworks that underpin it in the UK NHS context.
Participants will delve into the core components of clinical governance, including clinical effectiveness, patient safety, risk management, patient experience, and workforce management. These elements form the foundation for delivering care that is not only safe and evidence-based but also patient-centred and responsive. Learners will then explore quality improvement strategies such as data-driven decision-making, benchmarking, and performance metrics, helping them design and implement robust improvement plans within their practice.
A significant portion of the course is dedicated to clinical audit—a vital tool in assessing performance and identifying areas for development. Students will learn how to plan and conduct audits and apply their findings to improve clinical outcomes. Moreover, the course emphasizes the importance of involving patients in governance, providing strategies for effective engagement, feedback collection, and complaint resolution.
Risk management in primary care is thoroughly addressed, with learners exploring how to identify potential risks, implement mitigation strategies, and foster a culture of safety through incident reporting and shared learning. Leadership and governance structures are also covered, enabling participants to build and manage governance frameworks that align with NHS standards and promote a culture of accountability and transparency.
Further modules explore continuous professional development (CPD), reflective practice, and the ethical considerations involved in everyday clinical decision-making. The course concludes with practical implementation strategies, case studies, and tools for evaluating the effectiveness of clinical governance initiatives in general practice.
