Step-by-step guide to registering as a stakeholder

If you want to stay up-to-date with what we’re currently doing, and help develop our products, you could register as a NICE stakeholder.

Organisations only need to register once to be a stakeholder at NICE. However, each time you want to comment on a particular guideline or quality standard, you'll need to register a contact from your organisation for that topic.

A maximum of 2 people can be listed as contacts from each organisation for each guideline or quality standard.

The registration process

Step 1: check to see if your organisation is already registered

Each piece of guidance has a list of registered stakeholders. You can find the list of registered stakeholders:

  • on the project documents tab, for guidance that's in development

  • on the history tab, for published guidance.

Step 2: make sure your organisation is eligible

You should read our information about who can register as a stakeholder before you continue.

Make sure you have permission from your organisation to register.

Step 3: choose the topic your organisation is interested in

Visit our register as a stakeholder page to see the various topics you can get involved in.

Consultations already in progress

  • If a consultation has already started, you can still register.

  • If a consultation is due to close, register and submit your comments. We will let you know if your application to register as a stakeholder has been successful.

You should register your interest as early as possible.

Who is registered from my organisation?

To find out who is registered for a particular guideline email guidelines@nice.org.uk. For quality standards, email qualitystandards@nice.org.uk.

A maximum of 2 people can be listed as contacts for each organisation for each guideline or quality standard.

How can individuals get involved?

We accept comments from individuals who do not represent a registered stakeholder organisation. These will be considered, but will not receive a formal response. So, we encourage you to submit your comments through a registered stakeholder organisation.
