NICE (National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence)

NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) is the independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention and treatment of ill health. The NICE web site provides easy access to published NICE guidance and NICE guidance in development. NICE produces guidance in the following areas of health:

• Technology appraisals - guidance on the use of new and existing medicines and treatments within the NHS in England and Wales.
• Clinical guidelines - guidance on the appropriate treatment and care of people with specific diseases and conditions within the NHS in England and Wales.
• Interventional procedures - guidance on whether interventional procedures used for diagnosis or treatment are safe enough and work well enough for routine use in England, Wales and Scotland.

In addition, the NICE web site also provides access to guidance on an illness or condition, clinical audit and referral advice.
