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.

NICE boosts support for innovative ideas

NICE's support for hospitals wanting to adopt innovative new technologies has been given a boost as it takes on the work of the NHS Technology Adoption Centre (NTAC) in May.
With funding from NHS England, the new Health Technologies Adoption Programme (HTAP) at NICE will provide a more systematic approach to the adoption by the NHS of new technologies such as diagnostic and monitoring devices, surgical implants and other technologies that improve the care given to patients.
