Image of a selection of NZ clinical guidelines How often have you tried to find the latest guideline for a specific condition and struggled to know where to look? Many of us have it filed somewhere on our shelves, but to find it at that moment in a consultation when we need it, is often difficult!

Likewise, how do you know the guideline or pathway you do have is the most recent and up to date?

Let’s stop reinventing the wheel, save taxpayers $$ and create an online knowledge library we can all benefit from.

If your organisation has developed a care pathway or guideline that has been through a reasonable process of development and clinical review, then let us know by filling in the contact form. Meanwhile have a look at the ones we have listed below.
