Guidance
Update information
September 2022: This guideline updates and replaces NICE guideline CG16 (published July 2004) and NICE guideline CG133 (published November 2011).
Minor changes since publication
August 2024: We have simplified the guideline by removing recommendations on general principles of care that are covered in other NICE guidelines (for example, the NICE guideline on service user experience in adult mental health).
This is a presentational change only, and no changes to practice are intended.
