NICE Committee member recruitment - Can you help NICE find someone with lived experience with a passion for health and social care services to join the Prioritisation Board?
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) produces guidance on the most effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and ill health, and provide social care support.
It's important that NICE prioritise those areas of guidance development and delivery that will have greatest impact on the health and care system. To help us do this, in 2024 they set up the NICE Prioritisation Board to decide whether to select topics for guidance development. For more information, including videos explaining NICE’s approach to prioritising topics, please visit the prioritising our guidance topics webpage. They have also developed a short video to explain the role of the prioritisation board and the role of the lay member.
NICE are currently recruiting 2 new lay members to join the board to bring a perspective of patients, people who use services, and carers to selection and routing of topics.
