Clinical Governance & Risk Management Local Reports 2009/10

Achieving safe, effective, patient-focused care and services

Background

The national standards for clinical governance and risk management were first reviewed during 2006–2007. Peer review visits to all NHS boards in Scotland were conducted between May 2006 and May 2007 to assess performance against the standards. Local reports for each NHS board were published during the review cycle and a national overview of the key findings and recommendations was published in October 2007.

NHS QIS has subsequently agreed with the Scottish Government that it will review the national standards for clinical governance and risk management at a strategic level, in each NHS board, every 3 years. Our second round of review visits began in May 2009 and will continue until May 2010.

Following visits to each NHS Board, local reports have been produced and will be released onto this website on a rolling basis. A national overview of national performance will be published in October 2010.
