NICE wants to meet you and hear your questions.

NICE public Board meeting

Every two months the NICE Board holds its meeting in a different venue; moving from region to region to ensure that all those interested in our work can come along to hear about the latest developments at NICE and question the Board about policy.

January's Board meeting will focus on the work of our Implementation and Clinical guidelines programmes.

NICE question time

A question time session is held before the main Board meeting. This session offers a great opportunity for you to raise any questions you have about our work and is open to the general public.

Dr Fergus Macbeth, Director, Centre for Clinical Practice at NICE, will give a brief presentation on the latest work of the clinical guidelines programme followed by a short presentation from Ms Val Moore, Implementation Director at NICE. Attendees will have an opportunity to put their questions to Fergus Macbeth, Val Moore and Andrew Dillon, Chief Executive at NICE.
