Clinical Governance is defined as:

'the framework through which organisations are accountable for

continuously improving the quality of their services

and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment

in which excellence in healthcare will flourish' (Department of Health, UK)

The Clinical Governance Toolbox Website aims to provide free simple online knowledge management resources which can be easily adapted and adopted to help healthcare staff use clinical governance in their work place.

The Website aims to efficiently and effectively capture and use clinical governance knowledge that exists within organisations. The knowledge management approach aims to ensure that knowledge is routinely captured, shared, used to build capability to deliver and sustain the work aimed at understanding clinical governance in practice. It brings together all the components of clinical governance into a "one-stop-shop" under the three pillars:

Patient Safety

Clinical Effectiveness

Patient Experience

The Website aims to ensure that the "right information is available in the right place and at the right time". There are pockets of good practice clinical governance work being carried out in isolation of organisations. By researching, identifying and sharing all these good practice and key documents, clinicians can spend more time on implementation which can make a difference to patient care and experience. The Website can be used as a tool for

• Sharing
• Learning
• Training
• Reference

This Website aims to be a guide on how to make Clinical Governance incredibly simple and easy
