Governance

Quality & Governance is the combination of structures, policies and processes at and below board level that will be implemented by Kilbryde Hospice to adopt a consistent approach to the delivery of safe, effective and high-quality healthcare.

Clinical Governance Committee

The Clinical Governance Committee  of Kilbryde Hospice  is a standing committee reporting to, and ultimately accountable to, the Kilbryde Hospice Board of Trustees. Its purpose is to support and drive the broader clinical activity agenda and provide the Board with assurance that effective information, controls and best practice mechanisms are in place within the organisation. Reporting through the Clinical Governance Committee are three clinically related sub-committees: Medicines Management Committee, Infection Prevention and Control Committee and the Clinical Quality, Audit and Risk Committee.

The Committee’s remit extends into the areas of Health & Safety, IT, HR, Facilities Management, Retail/Commercial and 3rd Party relations. The overarching aim of the Operational Risk Committee is to ensure that the operational environment and underlying activities of the Hospice are managed on a safe and sound basis.
