On 7 August 1990 the Academic Board recommended the creation of the Centre for Hospital Management and Information Systems Research within the Faculty of Professional Studies (resolution 90/50). The Centre was officially launched by the Vice-Chancellor on 20 May 1991 and the founding director was Professor George Palmer (file 910810). On 2 December 1996 Council resolved to disestablish the Faculty of Professional Studies from 1 January 1997 (resolution CL96/88/3). Consequently the Centre was transferred to the Faculty of Medicine from this date. On 7 August 2001 the Academic Board recommended a change in the name of the centre to the Centre for Clinical Governance Research in Health (resolution AB01/51). This was approved by the Acting Vice-Chancellor on 12 October 2001 (file 2002/1061). In 2008 the director of the Centre was Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite.
