Governance and Policy Framework

db4f2e84-1755-42c7-af86-d9bc22828a03.jpg

Overview


A strong governance framework is the foundation of a safe and credible medical cannabis clinic. We create tailored policies, SOPs and operational documents that give your team clarity, consistency and confidence—supporting safe practice and a high‑quality patient experience from the outset. 


What This Service Covers


We develop a complete governance system aligned with your clinic’s model, including:


  • Core governance policies and SOPs

  • Clinical governance structures and responsibilities

  • Risk management and incident pathways

  • Operational processes for admin and clinical teams

  • Patient information documents and workflow templates

  • Escalation and decision‑making procedures

  • Documentation aligned with recognised sector expectations


This provides the operational foundation your clinic needs to run safely and professionally.


Why This Matters


Governance is essential in a highly regulated sector like medical cannabis. A well‑designed framework:


  • Demonstrates safe, well‑led operations

  • Supports confident, defensible clinical decision‑making

  • Reduces operational and regulatory risk

  • Enhances patient trust and care quality

  • Strengthens your position for CQC assessment and inspection


Robust governance is the difference between operating safely and simply “getting by.”


How We Deliver This Service


Our approach is structured, collaborative and practical:


  1. Understand your clinic model — service design, patient journey and workforce.

  2. Develop tailored documentation — written for real‑world clinical and operational use.

  3. Align processes to your workflows — so governance supports how your clinic actually functions.

  4. Review, refine and finalise — ensuring clarity, consistency and sector alignment.


All documentation is written in clear language that staff can use with confidence.


What You Receive


You receive a comprehensive, ready‑to‑implement governance package, including:


  • Full suite of tailored policies and SOPs

  • Defined governance roles and responsibilities

  • Operational templates and workflows

  • Patient information and documentation

  • Risk management and safety processes

  • A coherent, clinic‑specific governance framework


Everything you need to demonstrate safe, structured and well‑led operations.


Who This Service Is For


Ideal for:


  • New clinics needing a complete governance foundation

  • Established clinics updating or replacing outdated documents

  • Clinics preparing for CQC registration or inspection

  • Teams seeking clarity, consistency and sector alignment


If governance feels unclear, complex or inconsistent, this service is essential.


Optional Add‑Ons


Enhance your governance package with:


  • Documentation Customisation & Branding

  • Clinic Staff Training (with support from Professor Mike Barnes)

  • Communication & Messaging Support

  • Ongoing Compliance Packages


These add‑ons strengthen implementation and ensure governance becomes embedded in daily practice.
