Implementing NICE guidance

Practical advice on implementing National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidance was published by NICE in the form of a “How to” guide last week.

The guide, aimed at organisations responsible for implementing NICE guidance as well as commissioning organisations, addresses the role of a “NICE manager” supported by a multidisciplinary team. It details implementation steps and sets out advice for those commissioning services from independent contractors.

The guide will be sent to all NHS organisations in England and Wales.
