Clinical governance arrangements in maternity services - one
year on
Report on improvement review of NHS Grampian
On 28 March 2011 the Scottish Government Health and Social Care
Directorates and Healthcare Improvement Scotland undertook a
joint visit to NHS Grampian.
The aim was to review the NHS Board's progress over the
last twelve months following the NHS Quality Improvement Scotland review in
May 2010.
Healthcare Improvement Scotland found that NHS
Grampian had made good initial progress. The NHS Board has
put in place robust operational and strategic plans to
address the immediate concerns identified from the May 2010
review.
NHS Grampian demonstrated that they are now actively embedding a
corporate, strategic approach to clinical governance, risk
management and patient safety into maternity services and
beyond.
The task for NHS Grampian moving forward is to ensure there is a
sustainable, integrated approach to both identify risk and manage
it effectively, and to develop a sustainable long term service
delivery plan.
