The Queensland Clinical Networks Executive (QCNE) has been created with a membership of seven current statewide clinical network chairs, two consumer representatives and the Chair of the Queensland Clinical Senate (QCS). Our Chief Executive Mark Tucker-Evans, is one of the consumer representatives.
The QCNE provides a visible leadership structure for statewide clinical networks, enabling effective and efficient engagement with stakeholders from across the health system.
In collaboration with Queensland statewide clinical networks, the Queensland Clinical Senate’s ‘Maximising Benefits of Care’ meeting on 1-2 August 2019 challenged clinicians to consider ‘low benefit’ procedures – those that deliver little or no benefit at significant personal cost to patients, the teams that care for them and to the system.
The Queensland Clinical Senate believes there is an individual and collective responsibility of all those in the health system, including consumers, to identify and reduce any care provided to patients that is of low benefits. They have identified a a number of key recommendations that can be accessed here: Maximising benefits of care.
