Summary:
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on laparoscopic cystectomy in December 2003. This Guidance is currently under review. If you wish to be updated to any developments with this procedure, you can express an interest at the top of the page.
The Interventional Procedures Advisory Committee has considered this procedure and NICE has now issued a consultation document about its safety and efficacy. This has been issued for 4 weeks' public consultation (until 5pm on 25 November 2008).
If you wish to comment on the consultation document please use the link at the bottom of this page.
NICE is committed to promoting through its guidance race and disability equality and equality between men and women, and to eliminating all forms of discrimination. One of the ways we do this is by trying to involve as wide a range of people and interest groups as possible in the development of our guidance on interventional procedures. In particular, we aim to encourage people and organisations from groups in the population who might not normally comment on our guidance to do so. We also ask consultees to highlight any ways in which draft guidance fails to promote equality or tackle discrimination and how it might be improved.
Until the review is published the NHS should continue to follow the recommendations in the guidance below.
