Palliative care for adults: strong opioids for pain relief (CG140)
This guideline covers safe and effective prescribing of strong opioids for pain relief in adults with advanced and progressive disease. It aims to clarify the clinical pathway for prescribing and help to improve pain management and patient safety. Care during the last 2 to 3 days of life is covered by NICE's guideline on care of dying adults in the last days of life .
In virtual wards, people can receive virtual and technology-assisted treatment, assessment, and monitoring.

Myocardial infarction: medication for MI more than 12 months ago (IND126)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a history of myocardial infarction (more than 12 months ago) who are currently being treated with an ACE-I (or ARB if ACE-I intolerant), aspirin (or clopidogrel, or anticoagulant drug therapy) and a statin, and a beta-blocker for those patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM80
This guideline covers methods for monitoring the wellbeing of the baby during labour. It includes risk assessment to determine the appropriate level of fetal monitoring, using clinical assessment in addition to fetal monitoring, and interpreting and acting on monitoring findings.

Evidence-based recommendations on pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation. This involves using electric field energy to destroy heart cells that are transmitting abnormal electrical impulses.
This guideline covers the main risk factors linked with cardiovascular disease: poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It aims to reduce the high incidence of cardiovascular disease. This, in turn, will help prevent other major causes of death and illness, such as type 2 diabetes and many cancers.
