Clinical governance is an increasingly important quality and safety assurance framework for all drug treatment providers (not just those in the NHS) and commissioners.
Clinical governance in drug treatment: a good practice guide
This document aims to advise on and support the effective implementation of clinical
governance for all drug treatment providers, across all tiers, whether delivering health or
social care, and whether public or independent (private or voluntary sector). It is intended as
a guide for clinicians, commissioners and service managers in both the NHS and
independent/non-statutory sector.
Consultation
The NTA published a consultation draft of the above guidance in February 2008. The consultation ended on 14 May 2008.
