CLINICAL GOVERNANCE
Clinical governance is a continuous process of improvement and accountability, within a system or organisation, established to maintain and improve high standards of clinical care.
This process will ensure that training and the delivery of care meet all of the necessary and relevant performance standards plus any specific additional local requirements to ensure that the organisation is responsive and correctly reflects the nature and type of work involved.
In addition to national and international guidelines and best practice, any improvements are evidence based and driven through audit, review, consensus organisational agreement and then implementation, followed by further re-evaluation of processes and practices to maintain safe clinical effectiveness,.
A robust clinical governance process will ensure that the care provided by the organisation is safe, relevant and effective. As a result, your staff will feel that they work in a system that is supportive, responsiveness and truly empowering.

SPECIALIST CONSULTANCY
On request we can provide bespoke consultancy services to organsiations in fields such as emergency care, first aid, trauma, critical care, tactical and other specialist areas of healthcare. There are some examples below.
Penthrox
Penthrox was launched in the UK by Galen Pharmaceuticals and they chose ATACC and Dr Forrest, our Medical Director, to write and produce their educational content. This material had to become the core of all Penthrox training delivered across the UK and as such had to be approved and satisfy the stringent requirements set by the MHRA. ATACC have produced an educational summary of the history, the safety and the incredible effectiveness of this agent in a Penthrox Administration Trainer and Provider course.
As part of our role in the introduction of Penthrox, we hosted expert workshop groups and ran clinical pilots in a diverse range of trauma situations, including RTCs, burns and even in a cave rescue, for the first time in the UK. As Penthrox became more familiar we presented at Trauma Care, World Extreme Medicine and other events to describe it’s value. We worked together with Sir Keith Porter and the MHRA to seek approval for use by Police and Fire and Rescue Services.
