We are pleased to announce the updated Victorian Clinical Governance Framework 2024 which addresses changes and challenges since 2017, offering best practice guidance on clinical governance systems, structures, people and culture for high-quality care.

The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) have recently released Appendix 3: Non-Airway burns/fires in the operating suites and other anaesthetising locations (2024).

SCV is aware of a recent adverse patient safety event that occurred in a Victorian health service involving a non-airway fire in the operating theatre. Preventing fires in the operating room involves implementing robust safety protocols.
