The follow-up to Clinical Governance - Making it Happen considers the implications of clinical governance for a wide range of health care professionals including nurses, medical directors and chief executives. The contributors examine the role of the new government organisation NICE, the responsibilities of those working for NHS organisations and the benefits of patient involvement. Advancing Clinical Governance will enable health professionals to implement clinical governance effectively and with confidence.
