NICE RESOURCES FOR HCPS

Ensuring people get the right care, in the right place, at the right time across the health and social care system is the key to making it sustainable and effective, and developing a shared vision about how to do this across health and care locally will improve everyone’s health and wellbeing now and in the future.

With this in mind the National Institute for health and Care Excellence (NICE) has developed to highlight how using NICE guidance, quality standards, advice and practical tools will help tackle the priorities that have been identified by sustainability and transformation partnerships (STP) or integrated care systems (ICS).
