'How to' guides
One of the key objectives within the NICE Implementation Strategy is to provide practical generic implementation tools to support the implementation of NICE guidance into practice.
One of the ways we aim to achieve this objective is to develop a series of ‘how to’ guides to aid implementing NICE guidance at a local level.
The guide How to put NICE guidance into practice is the cornerstone of the Institute’s implementation support programme. It provides an implementation model to help NHS organisations comply with the Department of Health’s ‘Standards for better health’ and meet the expectations of the Healthcare Commission.
In 2007 we launched the guide How to change practice: understand, identify and overcome the barriers to change which aims to improve patient care by providing practical advice on how to encourage healthcare professionals and managers to change practice in line with the latest guidance.
This year we have developed a “How to” guide to implementation that aims to support Local Authorities with the implementation of NICE guidance. This guide is for chief executives, their senior officers and others within local authorities who lead on different aspects of health and wellbeing.
