Overview
Clinical leadership
is a term describing the tasks
required to lead improvements in the safety and quality of health care, and the attributes
required to perform these tasks successfully. Visible and active clinical leaders can create a safety and quality program that achieves positive and sustainable improvements for patients, and that fulfils the legal and ethical clinical governance obligations of health services.
Clinician input into safety and quality improvement is critical for predicting the ‘bedside impact’ of changes, and for promulgating new ideas within and across clinical and professional boundaries.
This paper was developed to advise clinicians on their role in clinical governance and to highlight the importance of clinical leadership in implementing safety and quality improvement programs.
