Clinical governance training course

Clinical governance training course

Clinical governance is the systematic approach to delivering, maintaining, and improving the quality and safety of patient care within health service organisations.  It ensures that everyone is accountable to patients and the community for the safe, effective, high quality and continuously improving delivery of health services.

Clinical governance is essential for ensuring patient safety and wellbeing and meeting the ever-changing demands of the health care landscape.  Pharmacists play an integral role in clinical governance through their unique understanding of medication management and quality use of medicines, embedded into daily practice or applied through specific clinical governance roles.

The SHPA Clinical Governance Training Course is designed for pharmacists who are new to or entering practice within health service organisations, such as public or private hospitals, large healthcare service providers, or residential aged care facilities.

Over eight self-directed learning modules, the SHPA Clinical governance training course will cover:

  • An introduction to clinical governance
  • Safety and quality culture
  • Systems and processes for clinical governance
  • Clinical governance framework, policies and procedures
  • Risk management
  • Quality improvement measures
  • How pharmacists contribute to clinical governance

An assessment follows completion of all eight modules, with participants receiving a certificate of achievement following successful completion.
