Would you like to be involved with helping to develop NICE guidance & standards?

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) would like the public to get involved and hear their views upon developing guidance and standards in health and social care.

A summary of the consultation proposals can be found below:

• Standardising how NICE engage with and involve people across guidance and standards programmes.
• Involving people earlier and keeping them involved throughout the development process.
• Being clearer on how NICE find information about people’s experiences of care and how we take account of that experience in our guidance.
• Recruiting a broad pool of people with knowledge and experience of specific conditions or services. This group can be drawn on as needed to join decision-making bodies.
• Introducing a formal feedback process. This will enable people who help develop guidance and standards to be aware of the impact of their contribution.
• Making better use of social media to:
  • communicate with people about guidance and standards
  • make it easier for people to communicate with NICE.
• Reinforcing the message among staff that involving people is everyone’s responsibility.
