title: Accountability in the NHS.
abstract: In the first three articles in this series, we looked at the various components of good governance and how nurse leaders can create cultures and systems to promote and measure good governance. We used the quality governance framework of foundation trust regulator Monitor to explore how an NHS organisation's strategy, systems and process and the measurement of performance are designed to ensure delivery of high quality care.
