As part of the Health for Kids in the South East project, Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines  and Clinical Paths are being developed for:

The guideline development groups include medical, nursing and allied health clinicians relevant to the condition, consumers and GPs. The Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines provide recommendations based on systematic review of the best available evidence, and consensus of the guideline development group where evidence is not available.

The groups also develop clinical paths which summarise the recommendations of the guidelines and form the medical records for children presenting to Southern health with the specified conditions; as well as one-page summary algorithms and patient information to accompany the guidelines.
