Governance
The clinical treatment and care provided by St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth and its wider services is subject to regular and in depth monitoring to:
- Maximise the quality of care provided
- Reduce the risk of adverse clinical events
- Ensure consistent quality of care across the St Luke’s service, regardless of setting
We have governance structures and processes in place that aim to be responsive to upcoming priorities and evidence, adverse events and near misses within St Luke’s.
There’s an ongoing programme of reporting which includes the monitoring of incidents and near misses, drug errors and complaints and identification of areas requiring improvement by the use of audit. Changes in practice or processes are introduced, where appropriate, in line with findings from review and assessment processes.
Our clinical governance structures and processes complement those of our NHS partners as closely as possible across our clinical settings.
The clinical services we provide are regulated by the Care Quality Commission, who carry out an annual inspection.
