Databases launched by NICE

Two online databases to support implementation of National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidance were launched at the institute's annual conference held in Birmingham last week.

One contains examples of local implementation projects and the second provides a bank of guidance-specific implementation uptake reports by NICE with references to external studies on how guidance is being implemented. A third online database of NICE research recommendations was also launched at the conference.

NICE wants NHS organisations to submit examples of how they have successfully overcome any problems associated with implementing its guidance. Submissions judged to be valuable will be included on the shared learning database for two years.
