Previous interventional procedures process
In January 2003, NICE published an interim process manual describing how it would prepare guidance on the safety and efficacy of interventional procedures. NICE began issuing guidance on interventional procedures in July 2003. During 2003 the process was then developed further and an updated interim process manual was published in October 2003.
In 2004, NICE published an updated programme manual describing how it would prepare guidance on the safety and efficacy of interventional procedures. This new programme replaces the interim process manuals.
