Clinical Governance
Clinical governance is achieved by continuous review of our work. We have a clinical governance committee which is led by a very senior clinician who has been thoroughly involved in clinical governance. Our committee will meet every three months to review service user feedback, ensure updated guidelines, check evidence-based approach, complaints, significant event and to ensure all standards of a safe service are met. Data protection, clinical and general, safety, clinical audits, risk register, education and training, staff management, confidentiality and information for families will be discussed regularly.
Clinical governance committee is very diverse in representation and includes a senior Psychiatrist, a senior practice manager, our medical director and a parent. All members except medical director are not part of the organisation and are independent professionals.
Confidentiality
All information will be kept secure and confidential as we use a very secured IT system. We follow GMC guidelines about confidentiality. All clinicians are bound by their respective professional bodies to
adhere to confidentiality policies. We are ICO registered
Mobile Phones
We request that mobile phones are switched off in the clinic to avoid any distraction and disruption.
No recording is allowed in the clinical session by parents. If you have any such intention, please speaks to the clinician but he/she may refuse. We occasionally record child observations so they can be reviewed closely by different professionals in the best interest of your child but a prior written permission will be requested for this.
Feedback
Your feedback is always valued whether it is a complaint or a compliment. We have very clear policy about complaint procedure to ensure that your concerns are addressed as soon as possible. Please refer to our complaint’s procedure.
