Content
‘NICE 2008: excellence in action’, will focus firmly on the practical. The event will feature a range of ‘real life’ case studies on how to implement NICE guidance and what works in practice.
NICE 2008 will also feature key sessions on NICE’s future roles under the new arrangements described by Lord Darzi and how they will impact upon all those working in health services.
In addition, in response to feedback from last year’s conference, there will be more opportunities to network with colleagues during several ‘open space’ workshops hosted by our partner organisations. Topics covered will include: public health, commissioning in primary care, clinical engagement and secondary care, clinical audit and management.
Speakers
Conference speakers will discuss their predictions for the NHS over the next 10 years and we will be sharing the latest news and views on the design, delivery and audit of NICE guidance.
Conference speakers will include:
Lord Adebowale, Chief Executive, Turning Point
Dame Carol Black, National Director, Health and Work
Mark Britnell, Director General of Commissioning and Systems Management
Harry Cayton, Chief Executive, Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence

The overall winner gets an additional £1000.
