Please note that the guideline relating to men with lower urinary tract symptoms will be combined with the 14th wave guideline relating to benign prostatic hyperplasia, to provide guidance covering the management of lower urinary tract symptoms and the management of associated benign prostatic hyperplasia. We have extended the consultation period on this guideline to allow organisations who have not yet registered as a stakeholders the opportunity to do so. The consultation will now close on the 29 October. |

The Guideline Development Group (GDG) oversees the development process. See below for a list of GDG members.
The NCCs may make a focussed call for evidence on specific clinical questions or subquestions, after it has done initial searches. It will be able to make a call at any point during development of the guideline, and stakeholders will usually be given 4 weeks to respond. The NCC will approach all registered stakeholders for this evidence. The NCC may not issue any calls for evidence for a guideline if the Guideline Development Group (GDG) feels it is not necessary.
In addition, the NCCs will accept relevant confidential data for consideration by the GDG.
Development of the clinical guideline is under way and is being led by the National Collaborating Centre. The Guideline Development Group meets regularly to oversee and assist the identification, review and synthesis of the evidence, the incorporation of expert consensus opinion and the translation of the evidence into recommendations for practice and audit criteria. Two versions of the guideline are under preparation: a full guideline and a NICE short-form guideline. Please see timescales above for dates of consultation with stakeholders. |

The NHS, like all public bodies, is expected to be politically impartial; so as to avoid providing a focus for political debate or detract attention from the general election campaign, NICE will not publish any guidance document, either in draft or final form, until the election has concluded. Therefore this clinical guideline, along with other final NICE guidance due for publication in April, will now be published in May 2010. |
