Interdisciplinary conceptual approaches and a specific strategy – that of Canada's Western Regional Training Centre for Health Services Research – are presented.
Findings
A critical element in meeting the new challenges in clinical governance is significant change in both managerial and clinical culture.
Originality/value
The approach outlined directly addresses many of the tensions inherent in current clinical governance and broadens the conception of clinical governance to embrace a wider array of critical health system issues.
