Overview
NICE has reviewed the UK Achondroplasia Network’s consensus guideline for multidisciplinary care of children and young people with achondroplasia.
The UK Achondroplasia Network is part of the Skeletal Dysplasia Group.
This review has been carried out to support improved care and outcomes for children and young people with achondroplasia, and to assist healthcare professionals in their decision making. NICE has chosen to present the strengths and limitations of the guideline because:
- it covers a condition for which there are no NICE guidelines
- it was developed using appropriate processes and methods.
Disclaimer
NICE does not assume responsibility for the content of the reviewed guideline, including its clinical recommendations, accuracy, or its relevance to specific patient circumstances. Healthcare professionals should use clinical judgment and consider local policies, individual patient needs and other relevant guidance before applying any of the clinical recommendations from the reviewed guideline.
