This practical guide to GIRFT governance sets out approaches to embedding GIRFT as part of business as usual. This practical toolkit should be used to support setting up a governance structure within trusts and systems which aims to minimise unwarranted variation and improve services.
Benefits of using this tool:
• Helps identify whether your trust is gaining the most from GIRFT.
• Identifies the key elements used successfully in trusts to embed GIRFT into ‘business as usual’.
• Offers case studies to illustrate the benefits of the approach at specialty level.

We know that NHS organisations have governance, administrative, project and programme management colleagues who take responsibility for non-clinical GIRFT matters across the provider, giving clinicians invaluable support in delivering GIRFT recommendations for patients.
We want to give colleagues in these roles an opportunity to connect, discuss, support and solve problems together.
We have launched GIRFT Connect, a closed area on the GIRFT Futures workspace, designed to do just that.
