Each year, two issues are selected by District Health Boards for more detailed review. In-depth reviews look at national and international evidence and best practice and are written for a national audience. Reviews may vary in scope and composition depending on the topic and availability of information or data. For example a topic may be reviewed as a situational analysis, or an exploration of the latest best evidence for managing or treating a condition.
In-depth topics feature in the reports provided for New Zealand and each DHB / region but are not customised for each DHB / region.
These topics are arranged by publication year below.
