Expressions of Interest: Clinical Governance Committee Member Vacancies
MEDSAC is seeking additional clinicians interested in joining the Clinical Governance Committee.
The Board has developed a Clinical Governance Committee Skills Matrix to guide future appointments and succession planning.

With this approach we want to ensure MEDSAC has strong, appropriately diverse clinical governance capability and a clear pathway for clinical issues and perspectives to inform Board decision-making.
If you are a strategic and collaborative clinician affiliate with strong professional judgement, a governance mindset, and a commitment to constructive decision-making, please consider applying.
