We aim to compile a comprehensive bank of current clinical guidelines from emergency departments across WA. Use these to help develop guidelines specific to your own department. You may want to adopt a guideline or update an existing one to ensure your department is as up to date as possible. This collaborative part of the network relies on all departments sharing and updating guidelines on here so please submit your guideline to [email protected] and we will post it on here to help others in the network.
