Chris Ham, University of Birmingham This book brings together the most pertinent discussion on clinical governance by some of the most eminent practitioners and researchers in the United Kingdom.

Divided into three parts, the book contains sections on: ·Medicine, autonomy and governance ·Evidence, science and medicine ·Realizing clinical governance Starting with the differing definitions of the term clinical governance, the contributors discuss the relationship of medicine and governance, the challenges that evidence-based medicine makes upon clinical practice and move on to suggest possible futures for clinical governance. Written by a team of experienced academics and practitioners, this book is aimed at reflective health professionals, as well as students and academics in the fields of health policy, health services management, social policy and public policy.
