An RCN Scotland report of discussions with Directors of Nursing, Associate Directors of Nursing and senior nurses on embedding clinical and care governance in integration

The RCN held two events on embedding clinical and care governance arrangements across the new integration partnerships in June 2015. These events, sponsored by the Scottish Government, followed on from our previous Chatham House nurse leadership events on integration, where it was clear that clinical and care governance is an area of particular interest and where significant concerns remain in implementing the Public Bodies Act.

Participants shared different approaches to implementing clinical and care governance structures and spent time discussing and working through scenarios that throw up particularly challenging issues around clinical and care governance and accountability for nursing.
