  1. Inducing and maintaining normothermia using temperature modulation devices to improve outcomes after stroke or subarachnoid haemorrhage (HTG587)

    Evidence-based recommendations on inducing and maintaining normothermia using temperature modulation devices after stroke or subarachnoid haemorrhage in adults. This involves cooling the body using pads placed on the skin or tubes put into the body.

  2. Microwave ablation for primary or metastatic cancer in the lung (HTG609)

    Evidence-based recommendations on microwave ablation for primary or metastatic cancer in the lung in adults. This involves inserting a probe into the lung, through the skin of the chest, to send microwaves into the cancer cells. This produces heat, aiming to destroy the cancer (ablation).

  3. Photodynamic endometrial ablation (HTG23)

    Evidence-based recommendations on photodynamic endometrial ablation. This involves using a light-sensitive chemical and laser to destroy the endometrium.

  4. Endobronchial nerve ablation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HTG604)

    Evidence-based recommendations endobronchial nerve ablation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This involves destroying (ablating) the nerves on the outside of the airway (endobronchial nerves) to improve breathing.

  5. Board members

    Our board sets out our strategic priorities and policies. It has 2 sub-committees, the audit and risk assurance committee and the remuneration committee.

  6. Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer (HTG667)

    Evidence-based recommendations on focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer. This involves using high-intensity focused ultrasound to heat up and destroy only the areas of the prostate with cancer (focal therapy). The aim is to destroy the cancer while reducing damage to healthy prostate tissue.

  7. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy for calcific tendinopathy in the shoulder (HTG645)

    Evidence-based recommendations on extracorporeal shockwave therapy for calcific tendinopathy in the shoulder. This involves placing a device on the skin that delivers short pulses of sound into the shoulder. The aim is to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.

  8. Transcranial magnetic stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder (HTG548)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcranial magnetic stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder in adults. This involves pulsing electromagnetic energy through the skull to stimulate the brain.

  9. Subthalamotomy for Parkinson's disease (HTG38)

    Evidence-based recommendations on subthalamotomy for Parkinson's disease. This involves putting very thin needles into the brain through small holes made in the skull.

  10. Radiofrequency ablation for palliation of painful spinal metastases (HTG669)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation for palliation of painful spinal metastases. This involves inserting a needle-like probe containing an electrode into the spinal metastases. This produces an electrical current that aims to relieve pain and other symptoms.

  11. Hand allotransplantation (HTG254)

    Evidence-based recommendations on hand transplant surgery (allotransplantation). This involves transplanting a hand from a recently deceased donor onto the amputated stump.

  12. Promoting tolerance of enteral feeds in children and young people: domperidone (ESUOM18)

    Summary of the evidence on domperidone to promote tolerance of enteral feeds in children and young people..

  13. Interstitial photodynamic therapy for malignant parotid tumours (HTG166)

    Evidence-based recommendations on interstitial photodynamic therapy for malignant parotid tumours. This involves injecting a photosensitising agent into a vein and using a special light to activate it and destroy the tumour cells.

  14. Prostatic urethral temporary implant insertion for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (HTG639)

    Evidence-based recommendations on prostatic urethral temporary implant insertion for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. This involves positioning a temporary implant in the urethra to increase the flow of urine.

  15. Motor neurone disease: assessment and management (NG42)

    This guideline covers assessing and managing motor neurone disease (MND). It aims to improve care from the time of diagnosis, and covers information and support, organisation of care, managing symptoms and preparing for end of life care.
