An introduction to the Governance Maturity Matrix
Credible and consistent governance of advanced practice in the NHS can be challenging, but it is vital in ensuring advanced practitioners' safe, effective, and successful employment. NHS organisations can now use the Governance Maturity Matrix to help them navigate this and improve patient care.
The matrix was designed to enable NHS organisations to self-assess their progress around governing advanced practitioners and to facilitate improvement.
We are hosting a series of webinars in partnership with Health Education England (HEE) to demonstrate how organisations can use the matrix and showcase examples from NHS trusts.
Who should attend
Please note, these webinars are intended for advanced practitioner (also commonly referred to as advanced clinical practitioners, or ACPs) leads or those who have responsibility for the governance of advanced practitioners in their organisation only.
