Clinical Governance and Risk Management in Heath Care – A practical approach

Health meeting

Course Outline

Clinical governance ensures the quality and safety of healthcare services through systematic monitoring, evaluation, and improvement. Risk management identifies and mitigates potential threats to patient safety and organisational integrity. Without effective governance, healthcare systems may experience increased medical errors, compromised patient and consumer outcomes, diminished public trust, and legal liabilities. Poor governance can lead to inefficient resource allocation, inadequate staff training, and lack of accountability, ultimately endangering both patients and healthcare providers.
