16 January 2008
NICE Board meetings are held across England and Wales every 2 months. The Board meetings are open to all NHS staff, as well as members of the public. Questions are taken from the floor after each item and attendees have the opportunity to meet the Board of NICE prior to, and following, the meeting.
NICE realises that putting guidance into practice can be challenging which is why NICE has set up a programme to help support implementation at a local level. We believe that by working with the NHS, local authorities, private and voluntary sectors, and the wider public NICE can help ensure its guidance is implemented.
January's Board meeting will focus on the work of our Implementation team with:
NICE Question Time – Sheffield
Supporting the process
- See what questions were put to the NICE Board, and the responses they gave, at NICE Question Time – Sheffield
- The Question Time session precedes the Board Meetings.
PLEASE NOTE: Dr Carole Longson, Centre for Health Technology Evaluation Director at NICE will now be presenting on the latest technology appraisals and interventional procedures guidance developments and is replacing Mike Kelly, Director for the Centre for Public Health Excellence at NICE.
Dr Gillian Leng, Deputy Chief Executive and Implementation Director at NICE, will discuss the NICE implementation programme, highlighting latest developments, the work of the field based teams and discussing the range of online support tools available to organisations to support the implementation of NICE guidance. Attendees will have an opportunity to put their questions to Dr Leng and other members of the board.
The Board also take this opportunity to build relations with NHS members and public health staff by holding a Question Time session which precedes the Board Meetings. The lunchtime Question Sessions offers attendees the opportunity to question the Board of NICE directly. NICE Question Time is only open to NHS members and Public Health staff.
