Interim clinical guideline surveillance process and methods guide 2013

5 Stakeholder consultation

As agreed by the NICE Board in December 2012, there will be no consultation on surveillance decisions resulting from the 2-year, 6-year or 10-year reviews. Consultations will take place at the 4-year and 8-year time points (and at every 4-year time point thereafter) when a 'no update' decision is being considered.

We will also consult with stakeholders when it is proposed that a clinical guideline should be either withdrawn or placed on the static list (see section 14.3.3 of the NICE guidelines manual 2012).
