The Com­mis­sion on Excel­lence and Inno­va­tion in Health (CEIH) is invit­ing expres­sions of inter­est for the Clin­i­cal Lead of the Chron­ic Pain Statewide Clin­i­cal Network. 

Statewide Clin­i­cal Net­works (SCNs) are cen­tral to advanc­ing clin­i­cal excel­lence and col­lab­o­ra­tion across South Australia’s health system. 

SCNs bring togeth­er health pro­fes­sion­als, con­sumers and oth­er experts to lead change, solve com­plex prob­lems and improve out­comes in spe­cif­ic areas of health­care. Their work extends across the state and beyond SA Health. 

About the Chron­ic Pain SCN

The Chron­ic Pain SCN’s vision is to pro­vide a strong, con­nect­ed and inclu­sive com­mu­ni­ty of prac­tice which pro­motes evi­dence-informed pre­ven­tion, ear­ly inter­ven­tion and man­age­ment of pain across the life span for all South Australians. 

As a SCN Clin­i­cal Lead, you will: 

• col­lab­o­rate with clin­i­cians, con­sumers, car­ers and key stake­hold­ers to dri­ve inno­va­tion and improve out­comes for peo­ple liv­ing with chron­ic pain 

• pro­vide strate­gic lead­er­ship and advice to the CEIH and SA Health on qual­i­ty and safe­ty in chron­ic pain care 

• rep­re­sent and advo­cate for the SCN across the health system.

The SCN Clin­i­cal Lead will be select­ed through a mer­it-based process.
