Prof. Gerry McGivern (Warwick Business School)
Prof. Ray Fitzpatrick (Oxford University
Location: The Fellow will work at both the Institute of Healthcare Management, Strathmore University (Nairobi) and with the Health Services Unit, KEMRI-Wellcome Trust (Nairobi).
The Health Services Unit in Nairobi undertakes work on the delivery of hospital services largely in the public sector and with a historical focus on care for sick children and newborn babies.
Improving the quality and safety of care provided requires engagement of multiple professionals and often includes mechanisms for defining best care, monitoring care, using feedback, supervision and mentorship and active roles of leaders and managers as part of a broad framework often summarized as a process of clinical governance.
The scope of clinical governance can also include higher level regulatory processes with powers to sanction individuals or facilities that appear to be ‘failing’.
The landscape and processes of clinical governance that support provision of safe, effective, quality care are however poorly described in many LMIC including Kenya.
This position has been created to begin to examine the structures supporting and processes employed in clinical governance in Kenya with a view to developing longer term work in this area focused especially its possible contribution to improving pediatric and neonatal care in Keya.
