About us:
Our values were developed by our staff, patients and community. They guide our work and actions every day. Our staff are part of the community we serve. We believe that we can improve health outcomes by involving our community in the planning and evaluation of their local health services.
The primary purpose of clinical governance is to protect the public and staff from harm by reviewing serious clinical incidents and developing recommendations to continuously improve the quality of health service delivery. This leads to better patient outcomes, supports staff wellbeing, and ensures a safe environment for all who access or visit the health service. All staff share responsibility for regularly reviewing individual and team practices to meet evolving internal and external expectations and stakeholder needs.
