About this document
This document summarises the process used for developing NICE clinical guidelines from November 2012 onwards, including:
-
how Guideline Development Group members are selected
-
how organisations can register as stakeholders
-
the stages when registered stakeholders can contribute to the development of a clinical guideline.
This edition replaces the January 2009 edition of 'The guideline development process: an overview for stakeholders, the public and the NHS' (reference number N1739).
Other documents on the clinical guidelines process are available from the NICE website:
-
The guidelines manual , which gives full details of the methods for developers of clinical guidelines.
-
Factsheets for patients and carers about contributing to a NICE clinical guideline, which explain how individual patients and carers, as well as patient organisations, can get involved.
