Established in 2010, the Nursing Clinical Effectiveness Committee (NCEC) has overseen the review and publishing of the nursing guidelines at The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH). Chaired by The RCH Nursing Research team, members of the NCEC meet monthly and are from different areas across the RCH. The goal of the committee is to involve nurses from all areas of the hospital to ensure the guidelines are relevant for all practice settings, irrespective of where the child is being cared for. Please read our Terms of Reference (RCH access only).
For information on the new processes and governance plans please contact Beau Thompson in quality or office of the chief nurse.
Guidelines currently published by the Nursing Guideline Committee are due for a review within three years of the published date. An exception to this can occur if the guideline is revised prior to the due revision date because of new research/literature or a recommended change in clinical practice.
