Practical support for general practice
NICE support for delivering high quality primary care
The resources in this section have been developed to enable general practice professionals to improve outcomes for their patients by ensuring that their practice is up to date with current recommendations from NICE on clinical practice, public health, social care and support for GP led commissioning.
These pages have been built with the help of GPs practice nurses and practice managers, and will continute to develop. To comment or suggest improvements, and to sign up for our monthly email summary for primary care, please email general.practice@nice.org.uk
