NICE guidance can help:

  • Commissioners and providers of NHS services to meet the quality requirements of the DH's Operating framework for 2012/13. It can also help them to deliver against domain one of the NHS outcomes framework (preventing people from dying prematurely).

  • Local health and wellbeing boards to deliver on their requirements within Healthy lives, healthy people (2010).

  • Local authorities, NHS services and local organisations determine how to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities during the joint strategic needs assessment process.

NICE has developed tools to help organisations put this guidance into practice. For details, see our website.
