This content brought to you by:

The purpose of the Clinical Council is to give balanced, clinically-informed advice to the Southern DHB Board and the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) around clinical and patient risk.

The Southern DHB (SDHB) Clinical Council is the principal interprofessional clinical governance and leadership advisory group for the Southern DHB.

The purpose of the Clinical Council is to give balanced, clinically-informed advice to the Southern DHB Board and the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) around clinical and patient risk.

The Council provides key clinical oversight for the Board and ELT with regard to patient harm and patient flow within the Southern DHB.

The Clinical Council receives and considers reports on clinical quality and safety matters relating to care delivered to any patients in the Southern District or to Southern DHB patients treated elsewhere.

The Council’s role is one of governance, not operational or line management.
