The Integrated Governance and Risk Management Strategy incorporates the organisation’s Integrated Governance process, the clinical governance process, and risk management, including clinical and non-clinical risk, and organisational risk. The strategy should be read in conjunction with the Women’s Health Risk Management Strategy and operational policies are referred to throughout the document where appropriate. The strategy applies to all staff and senior staff in particular should ensure they have a good understanding of this document and ensure the processes are followed within their areas. The Trust will ensure that training is made available for all senior managers to support them in providing good risk management. The organisation recognises that the strategy and its implementation is key to good governance and safety and underpins the ability to give safe and effective care to our patients. The organisation recognises that the process for governance and risk management in the NHS is constantly evolving. The Trust strives to continuously improve its processes, in line with key national guidance, to ensure safe, high quality services for our patients, and to provide a clear framework within which our staff can operate effectively. The organisation’s Integrated Governance and Risk Management strategy reflects best practice, changes that are required nationally, and recommendations made following internal or external review, all of which are intended to improve our systems, and make the organisation more effective. |
