Autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation for improved glycaemic control after pancreatectomy - Intervention Procedure Guidance IPG274 (24th September 2008)
Patients with chronic pancreatitis or some pancreatic tumours may require the surgical removal of all, or part, of their pancreas. As the pancreas is responsible for insulin production, surgical removal of the pancreas causes these patients to develop insulin-dependent diabetes. Autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation involves the removal of parts of the patient's own pancreas (the islet cells, which are responsible for insulin production), after the pancreas has been removed. These cells are then inserted into the patient's liver to restart insulin production within the body.

Identifying and supporting people most at risk of dying prematurely - Public Health Intervention Guidance PH15 (24th September 2008)
This guidance aims to identify what works in driving down population mortality rates in disadvantaged areas, where risk of early death is higher than average, with particular reference to proactive case finding and retention and access to services. The recommendations have been developed for smoking cessation services and the provision of statins. Although the referral specified a focus on people in disadvantaged areas, the recommendations are relevant for all those who are disadvantaged, regardless of where they live.
