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 Citizens Council to discuss factors for NICE to take into account when developing social care guidance

The question of which aspects of benefit, cost and need NICE should take into account when developing social care guidance will be discussed at the next Citizens Council meeting, taking place in Manchester next week.
The Citizens Council of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which provides public input into the Institute's work, holds its next meeting on 24 and 25 of January 2013. At this meeting the Citizens Council will be asked to consider factors that NICE should bear in mind when it takes on its new remit for producing social care guidance from April 2013. The Citizens Council will hear evidence from speakers covering all aspects of this topic, before taking part in thorough discussions to examine the issues in detail.
