Patient safety underscores every activity at Blackrock Clinic.  Since January 2009, patient safety has been under the guidance of the hospital’s Clinical Governance Director. This role is currently held by Dr Peter Quigley. The Clinical Governance Director reports directly to the Board of Blackrock Clinic.

The role of Clinical Governance Director is executed in close association with Edel Costigan (Head of Quality and Patient Safety) and the Clinical Nurse Specialist in Infection Prevention and Control, and dovetails with the existing Clinical Governance Committee.
