About us

The position of committee member is unpaid. NICE will pay reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including train fares and hotel costs when necessary, for attending committee meetings.

Other expenses:

NICE recognises that in some circumstances individuals will need to arrange for carers or support workers to accompany them to a meeting, or to take over unpaid caring responsibilities while they are at a meeting - this includes childcare or care of a family member with a disability or other additional needs. The circumstances in which NICE can provide reimbursement for such costs are outlined in the non-staff reimbursement policy.

Time commitment:

Committee members are expected to attend a half day committee meeting during guidance development, and a half day or all-day committee meeting after consultation.

In addition to attending committee meetings other input is required from committee members.
