The Surgical and Perioperative Care Clinical Network was established in 2021, with the aim to identify, address and improve key system priorities for South Australians requiring surgical services.
This project will develop, validate and implement a digital intervention surveillance program to manage the growing demand for colonoscopies, while establishing a data registry for future cancer research.

Phil Worley originally trained and worked as a rural GP before undertaking Specialist training and spending the last 20 years as a Consultant General Surgeon in both the public and private systems.
He hopes to improve cross network collaboration within the state’s health system, and the surgical journey of all South Australians from diagnosis to discharge.
Phil recognises this requires the input and cooperation of a broad cross section of stakeholders and is looking forward to leading an enthusiastic and committed team to achieve this goal.
