Our regular update from one of the regional Implementation Consultants.
This month Gill Matthews tells us what she's been up to in the North East.

I love the autumn – children back to school, time to bring out all those comforting jumpers, cords, tweeds and boots, and, somehow the sun always manages to come out for a final effort before shutting down for the winter. It always feels like a new start to me – and for the implementation consultants it is time to look ahead for the next six months and a fresh focus for our work.

10th anniversary conference
3 - 4 December 2008, Manchester central, Manchester

'NICE 2008: excellence in action' will celebrate 10 years of NICE and will feature a range of real life case studies on how to implement NICE guidance and what works in practice. Delegates will explore the success stories of putting NICE guidance into practice and share their own experiences of putting guidance into practice with experts from both the clinical and public health worlds.

In addition, there will be even more opportunities than before to network with colleagues during several open space workshops. Topics covered will include: public health, commissioning in primary care, clinical engagement and secondary care, clinical audit and management.
