Quality Governance Collaborative

The Quality Governance Collaborative (RCPE QGC) is an independent, neutral, non-governmental body committed to a new approach to governance in health and social care. We bring together multi-professional groups, developing national and international collaborations that aim to highlight issues and improve the practice of quality governance. We work closely with and advise governments, medical royal colleges, board directors, NGOs and other healthcare professionals and individuals involved in the delivery of patient care.

The RCPE QGC undertakes a number of activities to improve governance systems, including our fellowship programme, research publications and policy positions, symposia discussions and direct governance support for health and social care organisations via audits and invited reviews. The RCPE QGC also carries out a suite of public events; these event are visible through our event pages.

Our ambition is to shape UK and international quality governance practice, and ensure that health systems continue to deliver for patients.

What is excellence in quality governance?

The RCPE QGC and the World Health Organization have the below joint working definition of Excellence in Quality Governance:

"The means by which all institutions and organisations involved in the design and delivery of healthcare translate health policy into clinical practice and management in order to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare.

The ability to ask the right questions and to implement the right mechanisms to ensure the organisation discharges its duties in line with its purpose and with focus on good clinical practice."
