Quality and safety

All emergency department staff have a role to play in providing safe and quality care.

We collaborate with the Clinical Excellence Commission, local health districts, specialty health networks, the Ministry of Health and other pillars on clinical safety and quality issues and projects related to the provision of emergency care.
