Abstract:
Clinical governance has been introduced in the UK as a mechanism to improve the quality of health services, and the professional performance of clinicians. Specialist societies have a pivotal role to play in developing systems to support its implementation in clinical practice. Rehabilitation medicine is a specialty characterised by closely integrated interdisciplinary teamwork.
