Introducing NICE... Gateshead Council Gillian Mathews Implementation consultant - north
What is NICE? The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) is the independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention and treatment of ill health.
This is what we do NICE and NHS Evidence Evidence – guidance – shared learning
This is how we add value Independence, objectivity and transparency.
We have become a unique platform NICE and NHS Evidence Evidence – guidance – shared learning
We produce guidance in three areas... • Health technologies- guidance on the use of new and existing medicines, treatments, procedures and medical technologies and diagnostics • Clinical practice- guidance on the appropriate treatment and care of people with specific diseases and conditions • Public health - guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention of ill health
Core principles of all NICE guidance • Based on the best evidence available • Expert input • Patient and carer involvement • Independent advisory committees • Genuine consultation • Regular review • Open and transparent process
What are NICE Quality Standards? • A set of 5-10 statements that are: • markers of high-quality, cost effective clinical care for a particular condition • derived from the best available evidence • produced collaboratively with the NHS and social care • Quality measures - high level quality indicators • Audience descriptors - A description of what the quality standards mean for a variety of audiences
