UK’s NICE Becomes Single Access Point for Covid-19 Guidance

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) announced that will it host a new, single point of advice on treating and managing patients with Covid-19 in a variety of clinical settings. Through this initiative, NICE and NHS England (drawing upon NHS Improvement’s specialty guides) will create a single access point for national advice on clinical management of Covid-19 to support frontline health and care staff across the country.

NICE’s Director of the Centre for Guidelines, Paul Chrisp, said, “This important initiative will see the creation of a single, trusted, integrated suite of Covid-19 guidance for clinicians and care staff. It will enable us to capitalize on the work that was done rapidly in the face of the initial outbreak and adapt our approach so we can continue to best meet the needs of the system.” Read more here.
