Topics are referred by the Department of Health (UK) for review and a rigorous process, based on best available evidence, is used to produce guidance in the following categories: clinical guidelines, technology appraisals, interventional procedures and public health guidance. Cost is taken into account when weighing up the benefits of treatments.
The NICE pathwaysí offer a summary view of NICE guidance and so are slightly quicker to use then the full PDF guidelines. í Some topics have “quick guides” but these still run to approx 20 pages long.
