5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Annual ... - Monitor

evaluation and prioritisation of risks within the management decision-making
process.
The Risk Management Policy clearly describes the process for authority to
manage risk within the Trust - with low-level risk being managed locally and
high-level risk escalated to the Trust Executive Team and reported to the
Trust Board. The Trust Board receives bi-monthly reports on the current
status and management of all risks within the Trust. Directors attending the
Trust Operational Performance Team meetings review high-level risks
monthly and in further detail at the Clinical Governance and Clinical Risk
Committee, which is a sub-committee of the Trust Board.
Risk movement and control is monitored monthly at the Trust Operational
Performance Management meetings where accountabilities for risk control
and risk movement are discussed. The operational groups for managing risk
are the Business Stream Risk and Performance meetings (that receive a
monthly Business Stream Risk Report) and the Corporate Quality,
Performance and Risk Forum, which receives a monthly Safety and Quality
Metrics Report.
Overview of the arrangements in place to govern service quality
This year the Trust has produced its third annual Quality Report. Our Quality

produce each year and make available as a public statement of our
commitment to improving quality and safety in the Trust.
