Our clinical networks
Our clinical networks connect health professionals, services and systems across Queensland to lead improvements to the safety and quality of health care.
Each clinical network includes health professionals, consumers, caregivers and key stakeholders who:
- develop, review and endorse healthcare policies, strategies and plans
- provide training and resources for health professionals
- lead clinical practice improvements
- connect clinicians and involve them in decisions about Queensland's health services
- provide expert advice to our members, Queensland Health and other government departments.
We have networks for a range of health care specialties and priority groups. Contact a clinical network to join.
