The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is inviting comments on the consultation of a new version of the principles that guide the development of NICE guidance and standards. The consultation will run until 11 February 2019.
The document brings together existing statements of the way NICE practices, in particular the principles set out in our Social Values Judgements document. It also links to, and is consistent with, the legislation that establishes NICE in its current form, the NICE charter, and other legal, ethical and technical considerations that relate to decisions about how to allocate fixed resources in health and social care.
The consultation may be in interest to anyone involved in developing NICE’s guidance and standards and to anyone else who would like to know more about how NICE goes about its work.
The consultation details are available on the NICE website.
