NICE guidance can help:

  • NHS organisations, social care and children's services meet the requirements of the DH's revised 'Operating framework for 2010/11'.

  • National and local organisations improve quality and health outcomes and reduce health inequalities.

  • Local authorities fulfill their remit to promote the wellbeing of communities.

  • Local NHS organisations, local authorities and other local public sector partners benefit from any identified cost savings, disinvestment opportunities or opportunities for re-directing resources.

  • Provide a focus for multi-sector partnerships for health and wellbeing, such as local strategic partnerships.

NICE has developed tools to help organisations put this guidance into practice.
