Function / Content

This series comprises handbooks and manuals that set out the rules, practices and procedures for medical staff including interns and residents of the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

These handbooks cover clinical services, outline roles and responsibilities, give overviews of clinical services offered at the hospital and sometimes include organisation charts with staff names. The handbooks are specific to types of medical officers – i.e., Interns, residents, – and are largely general to the hospital rather than clinic specific.
