Governance
The primary responsibility for clinical governance and accountability remains that of each individual Trust. However it is acknowledged that there are numerous lessons and outcomes that should be shared for the benefit of CM Neonatal Network and utilised for reporting identified and agreed performance to specialist commissioners.
Core membership of the Clinical Effectiveness Group will be: the Network Neonatal Clinical Lead (Appointed Chair) and Quality Improvement Lead Nurse for Governance (Deputy Chair). A clinical lead and a nurse lead for each provider trust within the network. Colleagues from other professional groups and guest speakers maybe invited to CEG to enhance learning and understanding of the group.
All meeting dates and documents can be found on the NWNODN Future Platforms
It is expected that the Neonatal Steering Group (NSG) will provide expertise, direction and advice to NHS England, service providers, and the wider NHS community to improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of neonatal care across the NWNODN.
Core membership of the NSG will be the appointed chair, Neonatal Clinical Lead, Network Director and Quality Improvement Lead; this will be enhanced by membership from across the ODN footprint recognising the diversity of the conurbation. The Steering Group welcome support and commitment from the following areas:
- Specialised commissioner
- NHS service Providers
- Obstetric and Midwifery representation
- User / carer / families representation
- Voluntary Sector representation
- Supporting networks – SCN, AHSN, and LDN,s as required
