Clinical governance

Our Clinical Governance Framework ensures we deliver our vision of excellence in patient care and meets both the needs and expectations of patients and the standards set by the Care Quality Commission and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance on specialist palliative care.

Trinity’s Medical Director is our Clinical Lead, Caldicott Guardian and Freedom to Speak Up Guardian. Our Chief Executive has overall responsibility for the Clinical Governance Framework. Trinity’s Clinical Governance Committee meets quarterly to review clinical risk management, clinical audits and clinical staff development and reports to trustees through the Patient Services Committee.
