Governance

The National Trauma Network is made up of management and senior clinical leaders from New Zealand’s four regional trauma networks which represent all the hospitals. The Network also includes representatives from pre-hospital and rehabilitation services.

Governance Group

Appointed by our sponsors, the Governance Group oversees the Network work program delivery and provides leadership and advice to sponsors and sector decision makers. The group sets high-level strategic priorities for the work programme and endorses performance measures.

Operational Group

The Operational Group manages the operational aspects of our national work plan. The group serves as a key link between regional and national networks. Members include the national clinical lead and programme manager, the four regional clinical leads and coordinators, representatives from the ambulance sector, and sponsor representatives.
