Best Practice Communiques

What is a Best Practice Communiqué?

A Best Practice Communiqué summarises the scope of discussion, and any resulting outcomes, relating to a topic that has been addressed by the Best Practice Group.

The Group reviews current practice and standards and determines appropriate 'Best Practice' to be applied in Northern Territory Remote Health care. See Terms of Reference.
