The public health guideline for Alcohol-use disorders: prevention (PH24) has been checked by NICE for the need to update.  

This 2019 surveillance review has considered two NICE guidelines on the theme of alcohol use disorders and both guidelines will be having a separate stakeholder consultation:

Registered stakeholders for the PH24 guideline are invited to comment on the provisional decision via this website. Stakeholders may comment on the proposals for one or both of the guidelines, according to their knowledge and expertise of the topic areas.

If you’re commenting for an organisation, your organisation needs to be registered as a stakeholder.

Not eligible? Contact the registered stakeholder organisation that most closely represents your interests and pass your comments to them.

We can accept comments from individuals. These will be considered, but you won’t get a formal response and they won’t be posted on the NICE website. Wherever possible we encourage you to submit your comments through a registered stakeholder organisation.

Note that the provisional review decision presented here does not constitute NICE's formal decision on this guideline. The decision is provisional and may change after consultation.

Consultation dates: 9am on Thursday, 25 April 2019 to 5pm on Wednesday, 8 May 2019
