4 Stakeholder involvement
NICE aims to involve as wide a range of stakeholders as possible in its activities and applies this principle to the development of NICE indicators. We encourage professional, patient, service user, carer, community and voluntary organisations, as well as organisations of groups protected by equality legislation, to register as stakeholders and get involved. Registered stakeholders are given advance notice of consultation phases.
The NICE position statement on engagement with tobacco industry organisations sets out how NICE meets obligations under Article 5.3 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
