Patients and the public
Putting patients and the public at the heart of NICE's work
NICE is committed to involving patients, carers and the public in the development of its guidance and other products. By involving the very people for whom the guidance will be relevant, we put the needs and preferences of patients and the public at the heart of our work. This page gives more information about the opportunities for patient, carer and public involvement at NICE, and how you can get involved with our work.
