The Clinical Governance Group is made up of a range of health professionals who meet quarterly to provide advice to the Board and clinical team on how to improve health outcomes in our community. It tracks the impact of our services in the community and monitors them against a range of national indicators and helps shape the Board’s policy direction. It also provides an opportunity for practitioners to have their say in the daily running of Waiora.
