Our guidance and advice can help you make the best use of resources. It helps by showing what's worth investing in.
Use our tools to plan ahead, explore opportunities for saving money and make decisions on the best way to use your resources. Our aim is to help you recognise the benefits of appropriate care and spending on the right things.
Assessing the resource impact of NICE guidance
We estimate the costs or savings (resource impact) associated with technologies and guidelines so you can plan for and implement guidance.
Resource impact also covers wider issues such as:
- capacity and demand
- changes to patient flows
- workforce
- training implications
- facilities.
Supporting the health and care system to improve productivity
Recovering core services and improving productivity is an immediate priority for the NHS. So, to help with this, we’ve pulled together our relevant guidance and recommendations supporting this work into one place.
We've matched relevant NICE guidance and recommendations to areas of improving productivity and recovering core services. And we’ve aligned these to each of the 2023/24 priorities and operational planning guidance and priority areas of the NHS Long Term Plan
NICE and health inequalities
Health inequalities are differences in health across the population, and between different groups in society, that are systematic, unfair and avoidable.
Reducing health inequalities is a core part of our DNA. In fact it’s one of our core principles. So, our guidance supports strategies that improve population health as a whole, while offering particular benefit to the most disadvantaged.
