Guidance map / NHS corporate governance map
The HFMA NHS corporate governance map has been updated, with items added since the last update marked as new. The map brings together the key guidance and models to support effective corporate governance within the NHS.
Robust governance policies and procedures must be in place, and regularly evaluated, to ensure they remain fit for purpose. Aimed at NHS boards, governing bodies, audit committees and those NHS staff with an interest in governance, the purpose of the NHS corporate governance map is to highlight the published resources that support the development and maintenance of effective governance arrangements.
The map is split into four sections: strategic framework; enabling good governance; specific areas for assurance; and devolved nations. It signposts the key model documents and guidance available, and when they were last updated.
The map will be updated periodically as new guidance is produced. If you would like to flag additional material to be included in the next update of this map, please contact [email protected].
