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.

Announced in October by George Freeman MP, the minister responsible for NICE, the review will look in detail at the function, form and governance of NICE as a non-departmental public body.
All non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) undergo a review at least once every 3 years. NICE’s review will begin this month, with a final report scheduled to be published in February 2015.
