The Task
Notable systemic hospital failures, such as those reported in the Garling and Francis Reports, are a feature nationally and internationally. Select one healthcare failure, from either media reporting or your own practice, and analyse this failure using the components of clinical governance described in the literature. Following your analysis, you should propose a strategy that can be implemented to ensure patient safety. Your strategy must be linked to analysis of healthcare failure.
