What's New?
The Maternity and Neonatal Clinical Guidelines
These Clinical Guidelines have been developed to support a
standard approach to clinical care across Queensland.
They are best described as "evidence informed consensus
guidelines" and draw from the evidence base, existing
national and international guidelines and the expert opinion
of the working party.
The Maternity and Neonatal Clinical Guidelines website is
now live and can be accessed via "What's new" on the
Queensland Health Home Page or via the link below.
