Managed Clinical Networks
Managed clinical networks are a way of delivering high quality care to a population across a large geographical area.
An accepted definition of a managed clinical network is:
“Linked groups of health professionals from primary, secondary and tertiary care, working in a co-ordinated manner, unconstrained by existing professional and Trust/Health Authority boundaries, to ensure equitable provision of high quality and clinically effective services.”
