What we do
Providing guidance to ensure quality and value for money
NICE guidance supports healthcare professionals and others to make sure that the care they provide is of the best possible quality and offers the best value for money.
We provide independent, authoritative and evidence-based guidance on the most effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and ill health, reducing inequalities and variation
Our guidance is for the NHS, local authorities, charities, and anyone with a responsibility for commissioning or providing healthcare, public health or social care services. We also support these groups in putting our guidance into practice.

How we work
We develop our guidance and other products by working with experts from the NHS, local authorities, and others in the public, private and voluntary sectors - including patients and the public.
Our recommendations are based on the best available evidence of the most effective care. Our guidance is produced openly and transparently, and we make sure that those that use our guidance, as well as those it affects, are involved every step of the way.
