Join the External Reference Group
The External Reference Group provides NICE with rapid and informal feedback on the development of specific implementation support tools, costing tools and audit criteria from a widely representative group from the NHS and wider health community.
Members of the External Reference Group are invited to help us ensure that the implementation support we provide is appropriate and helpful, and that the appropriate networks are identified to assist in the development of the tools.
We are recruiting three specialist panels:
Cost Impact Panel - practising finance professionals (and other professionals with an interest in budgets) to feedback on costing tools;
Implementation Support Panel - practising professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and end-users of the tools to feedback on the development of slide sets and implementation advice;
Audit Panel - practising clinical audit specialists to comment on the development of the audit criteria.
