In some developing countries however, implementation of clinical governance continues to be a work in progress with some senior managers expressing concerns that it is merely a “paper exercise” in their areas. Areas where components of the clinical governance agenda have been used to improve services in the UK include an acute gynaecology dashboard developed for an EPAU in London, prevention of sudden death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and evaluation of an out‐of‐hours GP service where some GP consultations are now done by ANPs and pharmacists. Finally, adopting a clinical governance approach to accountancy auditing has led to improvements in the island nation, Solomon Islands where geographic spread and low per capita income add challenges to national healthcare management.Originality/valueThe value of this review is that it enables readers to quickly identify articles of interest to them which they can then be read in their entirety.
