Guideline Development Process

There are two groups at the RCH involved in the development of Clinical Practice Guidelines.
The Clinical Practice Guideline group generally produce guidelines for the emergency and/or acute management of paediatric patients.
A group of staff from the Quality and Improvement department works with clinicians throughout the hospital to develop clinical practice guidelines generally related to ongoing patient management.
Whilst both groups work collaboratively each group has a different development process. The steps for guideline development for each group are outlined as per the following links:

• Clinical Practice Guideline group
• Quality and Improvement department
