Clinical Guidelines are developed by the Clinical Leadership Council based on review of clinical evidence. The guidelines are reviewed every 3 years, or more often, depending on the rate of change in various clinical practices and the emerging new evidence. Please read disclaimer.
Why should public sector clinicians refer to the Clinical Guidelines?
- To receive guidance in making decisions about patient care
- To ensure consistency in practice
- To ensure a rational basis for referral
- To target continuing education
- To facilitate quality control, including audits
- To become aware of shortcomings of existing literature and identify research possibilities
(Please note: CG-A016-02 Clinical Abbreviations is now part of Records Management Procedure [PR-A063-02] on the Policy and procedures page)
