Clinical Networks and Clinical Senates
South East Clinical Delivery and Networks
The South East Clinical Delivery and Networks work with health partnerships and care systems across our region. Our work focuses on the main health areas where people die too early, including mental health for all ages, heart and lung health, children and young people’s health, pregnancy and perinatal mental health, palliative and end of life care.
We are one of 12 clinical networks across England. We connect different parts of the health system and help them work better together. We help local health leaders make good decisions about healthcare, make sure care is high quality, share good ideas between different areas, and always put patients’ needs first. We use clinical leadership and listen to patients and families to make sure healthcare is fair and works well for everyone in the South East, both now and in the future.

South East Clinical Senate
The purpose of clinical senates is to improve health and care outcomes, through supporting system-wide improvements and innovation in healthcare quality and efficiency.
They do this by providing impartial, strategic evidence-based advice and expert analysis on transformational change, through multi-disciplinary clinical and patient panels.
Clinical senates offer challenge and consensus-building to help systems and organisations navigate different clinical and system perspectives and entrenched or politically sensitive situations to reach a shared path forward, whilst promoting cross-system and regional collaboration.
The support and advice of clinical senates results in robust, unbiased clinical and system recommendations that enable better-informed commissioning choices in the best interests of patients, practitioners, and support system-wide efficiency.
Clinical senate recommendations help to shape effective, sustainable healthcare services, improve transparency, and strengthen governance.
