Performance Management of Healthcare workers - Staff Governance

 

Staff governance is about how NHSScotland staff are managed, and feel they are managed.

The NHS Reform (Scotland) Act makes NHS employers legally accountable for staff governance, in the same way that they are already responsible under law for the quality of clinical care and for appropriate financial management.

The Staff Governance Standard is the key policy document which defines the five elements that make up staff governance.

The Standard also shows how staff governance fits into a broader strategic framework, as well as describing the roles and responsibilities of different groups in relation to the Standard.

One of the elements of the Standard, that staff should be "treated fairly and consistently" is measured through organisational implementation of Partnership Information Network (PIN) policies.
