How to use NICE guidance to commission high quality services: guide consultation
Following two stakeholder workshops held earlier this year, NICE has developed a “How to” guide on how NICE guidance can be used to support the commissioning of high-quality care and services. This guide is due to be launched at the NICE conference in December 2009. The published guide will be presented in a similar style to the document found here: How to Implement NICE guidance
You are invited to comment on the How to use NICE guidance to commission high quality services

- the key messages are correct
- there any gaps, and if so what should be included
- the right benefits, levers and processes for using NICE guidance in commissioning have been identified
- the content is aligned with emerging policy and practice in particular the DH quality agenda and quality standards and World Class Commissioning
