Intellectual Disability Forum Sydney 15 November 2012

The NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation’s (ACI)  was established in January 2010 to drive continuous improvement in the way care is provided to patients in the NSW health system. Its 24 clinical networks provide a framework for clinicians and consumers to meet across regional and service boundaries with a mandate to drive improvements in care through innovation in clinical practice.

The purpose of the Intellectual Disability Network is to improve the care and health of people with intellectual disability across all ages by providing clinical leadership, research and education as essential elements to enhance the capacity of primary and secondary health services.
