WISDOM Clinical Governance Resources

Clinical Governance is ...

A framework through which NHS 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 clinical care will flourish
(Dept of Health, 1998)

Resources exist to support clinical governance, but they are scattered widely. The WISDOM Centre supplies a one-stop shop for clinical governance. We provide a comprehensive training course for the medical professions, plus this database of online resources.
