NICE

Tailor-made resources...bespoke tools for Induction of Labour and Osteoporosis (January 2009)
NICE aim to respond to the needs of the NHS to help clinicians, managers and organisations implement NICE Guidance. Their planning process seeks advice from representatives of relevant groups involved in providing care, from clinical specialists to patient groups. Sometimes a little extra help is needed with specific pieces of guidance, Induction of Labour and Osteoporosis are two recent examples.
