The Good Governance Institute is an established organisation supporting better governance practice. Here you will find details of our work, publications, events and services.
The Good Governance Institute has two main tasks, firstly to support individual organisations improve their governance and secondly to move governance thinking forward. We work with NHS, third sector and commercial organisations to improve their governance through board reviews, helping to gain authorisations (such as FT status, CCG authorisation of CQC registration), board development workshops and programmes, etc. We also lead national studies and undertake other commissioned work to take governance thinking forward. Recent examples include our current work for the National Institute of Health Research on the governance of research networks and our publication of guidance for NHS boards on safeguarding issues.

| Good Governance Handbook Published | |
| The Good Governance Institute (GGI) has collaborated with the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) to produce this seminal report into the foundation principles of good governance. Understanding these is key to being able to apply good governance to new and emerging organisations in healthcare, and for working through partnership and hosting arrangements. Drawn from academic study, the various governance Codes and law and established better governance practice GGI and HQIP have identified nine foundation principles. This report explains how to apply these within health and social care organisations. GGI will be taking forward these foundation principles within various developmental programmes during 2012. | |

| Risk Appetite for Boards | |
| GGI has launched a new resource for boards. HM Treasury requires all boards to agree and publish a statement of their risk appetite, and GGI has been working with the NHS in Southwark to develop and field test an approach to using risk appetite to help improve how NHS boards work. This is now being rolled out as part of a programme of board development available to all NHS boards in the coming months. | |
