Clinical governance is the systematic approach to delivering, maintaining, and improving the quality and safety of patient care within health service organisations. It ensures that everyone is accountable to patients and the community for the safe, effective, high quality and continuously improving delivery of health services.
Clinical governance is essential for ensuring patient safety and wellbeing and meeting the ever-changing demands of the health care landscape. Pharmacists play an integral role in clinical governance through their unique understanding of medication management and quality use of medicines, embedded into daily practice or applied through specific clinical governance roles.
