Maternity & newborn
Established in 2007, the Maternity and Newborn Clinical Network (MNCN) aims to improve perinatal care by decreasing variation in clinical practice. By using evidence to inform best practice, the MNCN provides clinical expertise for all Victorian public maternity service providers . The management team is supported by a Leadership Group, which comprises of clinicians, consumers and stakeholders from a diverse range of maternity service providers across Victoria.
The Maternity and Newborn Clinical Network not only promotes collaboration between maternity service providers but assists services identify local strategies when implementing statewide clinical practice guidelines. The MNCN holds 2 major conferences per year, facilitates regional based workshops and distributes a bimonthly newsletter to communicate new research, information and resources.
