You can now review and comment on this draft guideline.

The consultation closes at 5pm on Friday 15 September 2023.

How to comment

1. Register your organisation or comment as an individual

If you’re commenting for an organisation, your organisation needs to be registered as a stakeholder.

Not eligible? Contact the stakeholder organisation that most closely represents your interests and pass your comments to them.

We can accept comments from individuals. These will be considered, but you won’t get a formal response and they won’t be posted on the NICE website. Wherever possible we encourage you to submit your comments through a registered stakeholder organisation.

2. Read the consultation documents

Documents to comment on:

  • Draft guideline

3. Add your comments

  • You must use this form.
  • You must declare any links with, or funding from, the tobacco industry

If you share similar views with another organisation, send a joint response.

Make sure you consider:

  • NEWS2 is being promoted for use in assessing severity of illness (and hence placement) in people with ARI in community settings, but the committee did not find evidence to support this. We would welcome stakeholder comments on whether NEWS2 is an appropriate tool for use in this setting.
  • The areas that will have the biggest impact on practice and be challenging to implement
  • How to help users overcome challenges

Developing NICE guidelines: how to get involved suggests some other areas to comment on.
