Appendix 1: Clinical Connect Guidelines
These guidelines are a useful way to help set ground rules and establish the way the group agrees to interact.
Creating and managing a supportive group culture is a shared responsibility, it is important all group members feel they have both the right and responsibility to draw the group back to the agreed guidelines where required.
Confidentiality - Matatapu
- Reflecting on and learning from Clinical Connect content and discussions is an important aspect of the Clinical Connect process. Further discussion may happen within the practice setting when reflecting on the topic or applying learning within practice. Confidential information shared within the group must remain within the group. It is essential that individual patient, data, practitioner, and practice confidentiality is maintained where discussions occur outside of the Clinical Connect environment
- To protect the privacy of others when meeting online please have your camera on for the duration of the meeting, so everyone can see who is in attendance. Where necessary please use a headset to ensure others outside the group cannot hear the discussion
Communication - Whakawhitiwhiti kōrero
- Provide an equal opportunity for everyone to actively participate and contribute
Courtesy - Atawhaitanga

Co-operation - Mahi tahi
