What we do
NICE produces guidance on public health, health technologies and clinical practice. Each guidance area is the responsibility of one of our three centres of excellence:
Centre for Public Health Excellence
The Centre for Public Health Excellence develops public health guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention of ill health.
Centre for Health Technology Evaluation
The Centre for Health Technology Evaluation develops technology appraisals and interventional procedures guidance.
- Technology appraisals are recommendations on the use of new and existing medicines and treatments within the NHS.
- Interventional procedure guidance evaluates the safety and efficacy of such procedures where they are used for diagnosis or treatment.
Centre for Clinical Practice
The Centre for Clinical Practice develops clinical guidelines. These are recommendations, based on the best available evidence, on the appropriate treatment and care of people with specific diseases and conditions.
