How to comment

You should read both the consultation document and the accompanying evidence (see the committee papers) before making any comments.

We have a new way of making comments on this consultation. You must make your comments directly onto the online version of the consultation document. When you go into the document you will find instructions on how to use the new commenting software. You can also review and edit your comments before you submit them.

About the consultation

We have asked some questions about the consultation that we would like you to answer. You will be able to see the questions when you go into the online consultation document.

We would also like you to think about whether there are any aspects of the recommendations that need particular consideration to make sure we avoid unlawful discrimination against any group of people. For example, on the grounds of:

  • race
  • gender
  • disability
  • religion or belief
  • sexual orientation
  • age
  • gender reassignment
  • pregnancy and maternity.

Note that this document is not NICE's final guidance on this procedure. The recommendations in section 1 may change after consultation.

After the consultation has closed the Interventional Procedures committee will meet again to consider the responses received and prepare the final appraisal document. Find out more

If you would like to provide feedback on this after using the system, you can do this by completing our survey which you will see on successful submission of your response.
