Quality governance is an important role that hospice boards must embrace. This publication explains what quality governance is, and what the board should focus upon to ensure effective governance of quality.
In providing a grounding for hospice boards on quality governance, this good practice guide includes a framework of questions about the quality of care, along with sample quality governance sub-committee terms of reference and an example of working groups that may support a sub-committee of the board in the governance of quality.
This publication is part of Hospice UK’s Governance Support Programme for hospice boards and trustees.
