Clinical governance

Care UK is fully committed to the principles of clinical governance and we are working continually to improve the quality of our services. Our dedicated clinical governance team, led by the Director of Clinical Governance and Nursing, are responsible for implementing a comprehensive clinical governance programme, safeguarding high standards of care throughout the company.

The Care UK clinical governance programme is built on:

• Providing effective leadership and direction, and setting clear standards. This will include national standards as required and additional standards that are relevant.

• Measures to ensure quality assured practice by all staff working for the organisation. This will include continuing professional development and addressing poor clinical performance.

• Ensuring systems of adverse event recognition and analysis are embedded and subsequent effective learning and risk management to enhance patient safety.

• A robust system of inspection and audit to ensure that standards are being met and proper quality improvement systems are in place at every level.

• Implementing strong mechanisms to spread and learn from good practice and research evidence on good practice is disseminated to frontline staff.

• Engaging active participation of and providing information for patients.
