Clinical governance is to be the main vehicle for continuously improving the
quality of patient care and developing the capacity of the NHS in England to
maintain high standards (including dealing with poor professional
performance).
It requires an organisation-wide transformation; clinical leadership and
positive organisational cultures are particularly important.
Local professional self regulation will be the key to dealing with the
complex problems of poor performance among clinicians.
New approaches are needed to enable the recognition and replication of good
clinical practice to ensure that lessons are reliably learned from failures
in standards of care
