Clinical Guidelines
Kimberley Clinical Guidelines are an invaluable resource for health care professionals in the Kimberley.
They have been developed from a desire to standardise the screening for, and management of, health conditions more prevalent in the Kimberley, and in recognition that the management of these conditions differs from standard management due to the extreme remoteness of the area. They have been developed by multidisciplinary teams of local health care professionals based on local research findings, and established best practices adapted to local conditions.
The Clinical Guidelines are managed by KAHPF Sub-committees, and endorsed by the KAHPF. They are regularly monitored and reviewed to ensure they remain up to date with current evidence. A comprehensive procedure provides guidance on the development, endorsement, implementation, and monitoring of Clinical Guidelines (refer procedure).
