Our accreditation programme is now closed to both new applicants and to organisations that were accredited.
We began the NICE accreditation programme in 2009 with the aim to raise standards in guidance production and improve the quality of information produced for health and social care decision-makers. The programme was well received and supported, and we're delighted with what has been achieved.
Whilst the accreditation programme is now closed we remain committed to continuing our work with external guideline developers. We anticipate that our new approach to how we prioritise our guidance topics to ensure we respond quickly to changes in system needs will require closer working and collaboration with our key partners.
We wish to sincerely thank the external guidance producers and organisations for their contribution and involvement in the programme.
