| Annotation | "Supporting doctors, protecting patients" outlines a tri-partite approach to achieving services of a high standard in the NHS: clear national standards (through national service frameworks and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence - NICE); external review of quality, through the Commission for Health Improvement (CHI); and supporting doctors and their teams, through arrangements for clinical governance. Age Concern England (ACE) comments specifically on: monitoring performance; clinical audit and governance; revalidation; self-regulation; locums; disciplinary procedures; the independent sector; an overall quality framework; education and training, to recognise older people's special needs; and involving patients to safeguard their interests.
