What is NICE?

NICE guidance helps health and social care professionals deliver the best possible care based on the best available evidence. This guidance supports healthcare professionals and others to make sure that the care they provide is of the best possible quality and offers the best value for money. The guidance is for the NHS, local authorities, charities, and anyone with a responsibility for commissioning or providing healthcare, public health or social care services. We also support these groups in putting our guidance into practice.

"Through the NICE Accreditation Programme the work of these organisations has justly been recognised and they can now proudly display the Accreditation Mark - the 'seal of approval' that assures health and social care professionals that they are accessing some of the best information available online to make informed decisions about patient care."
