How will clinical governance affect a pre-reg student????

Question that always seems to crop up. First of all they ask me the definition, which I can reel off. Then they ask how it affects you as a pre-reg student and this leaves me somewhat stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clinical governance means "how would you feel if YOU were at the receiving end?"

Otherwise, do as you would be done to!

I have the definition down as 'a framework through which NHS organisations strive to improve the quality of services provided, whilst also safeguarding the high standards of practice that are already in place. This is done by providing an environment in which excellence in clinical practice can flourish'

But then I'm not sure how it affects a pre-registration student after that
