Award-winning Clinical Governance

Our Clinical Governance Board comprises of consultant or equivalent seniority NHS GPs, clinicians and specialists from emergency departments, including paramedics, intensive care, trauma, surgery, HEMS, paediatrics, and prescribing pharmacists. The Board meets regularly to undertake content reviews and ensure that eConsult always adheres to the latest guidance and the highest safety standards.
