2007/003 NICE Citizens Council to discuss ‘only in research' recommendations

The Citizens Council of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), which provides public input into the Institute’s work, will hold its next meeting in London from 25 to 27 January 2007.  At this meeting the Citizens Council will be asked for its views on when it is appropriate for NICE to recommend a treatment or intervention to be used only in the context of research.  The Citizens Council will hear evidence from speakers covering all aspects of this topic before thoroughly discussing and deliberating on these issues.
