The South West Strategic Clinical Network brings together those who use, provide and commission the service to make improvements in outcomes based on best evidence. The Strategic Clinical Network works in partnership with commissioners (including local government), supporting their decision making and strategic planning. The Network works across the boundaries of commissioner, provider and voluntary organisations as a vehicle for improvement for patients, carers and the public.

The South West Clinical Senate is comprised of a core Clinical Senate Council and a wider Clinical Senate Assembly. The Clinical Senate Assembly is a diverse multi-professional forum providing the Council with ready access to experts from a broad range of health and care professions. Membership of the assembly will encompass the ‘birth to death’ spectrum of care and include patient
representatives.
