Clinical Governance, start to finish.
This module explains the framework through which our hospital continuously improves the quality of care and maintains high standards. You will learn how the systems you use every day, from incident reporting to clinical audit, fit together to keep patients safe. This is the same training CareStream subscribers get, written for care settings rather than adapted from a generic course. It runs about 35 minutes and ends with a 20 question assessment.
- What Clinical Governance Means for You
Clinical governance is the framework that makes our hospital accountable for continuously improving care quality and maintaining high standards.
- The Pillars of Clinical Governance
Clinical governance rests on several interlocking pillars that work together.
- Our Governance Structures and How They Work
Our hospital has clear governance structures that ensure quality and safety information reaches the right people and leads to action.
- Incident Reporting and the Duty of Candour
Incident reporting is a vital part of clinical governance.
- Clinical Audit and Evidence Based Practice
Clinical audit is the process of measuring our practice against evidence based standards, usually from NICE or other authoritative sources, finding gaps, making improvements, and then re-auditing to check the changes worked.
- Speaking Up and Freedom to Speak Up
Everyone has both the right and the duty to speak up about concerns.
- Practising Privileges and Consultant Accountability
Practising privileges are the system through which our hospital grants visiting consultants permission to practise and defines their scope of practice.
What your team will be able to do.

What staff come away with
Clinical governance is the framework for continuously improving quality and safeguarding high standards. It is everyone's responsibility, not just managers.
The pillars of clinical governance, including clinical effectiveness, audit, risk management, education, patient experience and staff management, work together to keep patients safe.
Our governance structures, the Board, Clinical Governance Committee and Medical Advisory Committee, ensure information flows upward and decisions flow back to frontline practice.
You must report incidents promptly and apply the duty of candour by being open and honest with patients when things go wrong.
Clinical audit measures practice against evidence based standards, identifies gaps, drives improvement and then re-audits to check changes worked.
Everyone has the right and duty to speak up about concerns. Use your manager, the governance team or the Freedom to Speak Up Guardian. Speaking up is protected.

How long does Clinical Governance training take?
About 35 minutes, across 7 short lessons, followed by a 20 question assessment with a pass mark of 80%. Staff can stop and pick up where they left off.
What does the Clinical Governance training cover?
7 lessons: What Clinical Governance Means for You, The Pillars of Clinical Governance, Our Governance Structures and How They Work, Incident Reporting and the Duty of Candour, Clinical Audit and Evidence Based Practice, Speaking Up and Freedom to Speak Up and Practising Privileges and Consultant Accountability. Each one pairs the teaching with a care scenario and a quick check.
How often do staff need to refresh Clinical Governance?
CareStream sets this training so it renews every year. Staff and managers are reminded before a certificate lapses, so the refresher is booked before the gap appears.
Is Clinical Governance completed fully online?
Yes. It is knowledge based, so staff complete the lessons and the assessment online and receive their certificate at the end. There is no practical sign-off.
Do I need a CareStream subscription to buy this?
No. This page exists precisely so you do not. You buy the licences you need, your staff complete the training in the CareStream hub, and that is the end of it. There is no trial to start, no card kept on file, and no subscription that begins quietly afterwards.
If you later decide you want the full platform, anything your staff have already completed carries across into your account.
What does one licence actually cover?
One licence covers one named member of staff for this training, including the lesson, the assessment, any follow-up questions triggered by a wrong answer, and their certificate. Licences are not shared between people, because the completion record has to belong to an individual to be worth anything at inspection.
How quickly can staff start?
Immediately. The licences are on your account as soon as the payment clears, and staff get their invite the moment you add them. There is no onboarding call and no setup period.
Can staff complete it in another language?
Yes. Each staff member has a first language on their profile, and the lesson, the questions and the feedback all arrive in it. They answer in that language too. What you see as a manager stays in English, so the record reads the same whoever completed it.
What if someone fails the assessment?
Nothing is lost. A wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson on that specific point, and they retry it. The record shows the improvement from the first attempt to the latest, which is stronger evidence than a single pass mark, because it shows the gap was found and closed.
Can I buy for more than one service?
Yes. Buy the total number of licences you need and allocate them across your services when you add staff. If you are licensing for a group and want an invoice rather than a card payment, get in touch and we will raise one.
Licence any of these the same way.
Same price, same terms, no subscription needed.
