RCGP Curriculum - 3.1 Clinical Governance

This section of our curriculum guide refers to statement 3.1, Clinical Governance, produced by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).

All doctors need to understand the principles of clinical governance and use them in their professional practice. GPs and their practices are integral parts of a network of healthcare organisations, and ensuring the quality of patient care requires effective clinical leadership, teamwork and clinical audit.

GPs are more accountable than ever before. They are expected to place the needs of patients before their own interests, while at the same time identifying and responding to poor practice around them.

Here we have collated key articles from our journals to help you meet the curriculum requirements in this area.

These curriculum resources are regularly updated with relevant articles from our range of healthcare publications. All articles are reviewed by GP advisers. We have set the standard lifetime of an article at two years and will aim to renew all articles within that timeframe. However, some older articles will remain in the listing if our reviewers believe there to be no significant changes to the topic covered.
