Clinical networks are groups of health professionals, health organisations and consumers who work collaboratively to provide leadership and clinical service development across a number of specialty areas of healthcare.
The benefit of clinical networks is that they bring together people from a range of health services and other areas to address common issues and improve the quality of care provided.
Victoria has clinical networks in these specialty areas:
- cancer
- cardiac
- critical care
- emergency care
- maternity and newborn
- palliative care
