Background: Safer Care Victoria (SCV) partners with consumers, clinicians and health services to support continuous improvement. SCV’s Clinical Networks promote clinician engagement, collaboration and leadership to achieve this aim. The Maternity and Newborn Clinical Network is developing the Maternity eHandbook, supported by funding from VMIA, to reduce unnecessary variation in maternity care. The project subcommittee, with multidisciplinary membership representing all regions and service capability levels, is tasked with developing content and supporting its dissemination and evaluation. Methods: A survey was developed to evaluate the subcommittee’s experience of participation in the project. Questions focused on their motivation to participate; barriers and facilitators to participation; impact of the work on future plans for engagement in health service and sector activities; what they valued and would change about the experience; and the perceived value of the project to the sector. The survey was circulated to all 22 subcommittee members, using a webbased survey tool. Responses were collected anonymously. Results: Subcommittee members’ experiences of engagement and participation will be evaluated using quantitative and qualitative survey data. Conclusions: Results will identify potential barriers and facilitators to clinician participation and engagement in the eHandbook project. These findings may provide useful insights into mechanisms to support clinician involvement in future projects.
