The Citizens Council, which advises the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, has published its final report on factors that it believes should be considered when NICE develops social care guidance.
At a two-day meeting in early 2013, the 30 members of the public who
make up the Citizens Council discussed which aspects of benefit, cost,
and need NICE should bear in mind when producing guidance on social
care. NICE assumed responsibility for developing guidance and quality
standards for social care from April 2013.
As this is a new area of work for NICE, the Council's advice is
informing the development of processes and methods, and action is
already being taken based on the Council's conclusions.

This Resource has been developed by the Library and showcases NICE Guidance, Guidance under Development, Future Guidelines and NICE Pathways that are relevant to the work of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. It is updated daily with News from NICE, videos relating to the work of NICE. New guidance is added as soon as it is released.
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.
