National collaborating centres

NICE has established several national collaborating centres (NCCs) to help develop the clinical guidelines by harnessing the expertise of the royal medical colleges, professional bodies and patient/carer organisations.

Each NCC is a professionally led group. The NCCs are:

• National Collaborating Centre for Acute Care
• National Collaborating Centre for Cancer
• National Collaborating Centre for Chronic Conditions
• National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health
• National Collaborating Centre for Nursing and Supportive Care
• National Collaborating Centre for Primary Care
• National Collaborating Centre for Women and Children´s Health
