Clinical Governance

The Office of the Chief Psychiatrist periodically provides education sessions to mental health services, consumer and carer organisations and other interested stakeholders in relation to the Mental Health Clinical Governance Framework and the Chief Psychiatrist's Clinical Governance Review Program.

In addition the Office also provides a one-day training session for Clinical Governance Reviewers. The training day provides information regarding the role of the Chief Psychiatrist, a background to Clinical Governance and the Clinical Governance Review program and methodology. Reviewers are provided with opportunities to strengthen their skills in the areas of interviewing and observational techniques, and the critical analysis of clinical records and policy and procedures as it relates to review process.
