• Provide oversight and guidance to guideline authors, including liaison with subspecialists and stakeholders to ensure evidence-based, best-practice content.
• Support audits, quality improvement activities and reporting functions, including monitoring adherence to CPGs and maintaining associated documentation and registers.
• Contribute to a collaborative, respectful and safe team culture while engaging effectively with multidisciplinary and cross-jurisdictional CPG networks.
