However, practitioners are expected to consider them, and patient access is protected by the NHS Constitution. Our guidance is valued and has demonstrable impact via our web-based database.

The Planning and Operations team supports business planning and administration across the directorate.

Our committee operations function provides secretariat services and manages the Medicines Evaluation Committees, acting as a liaison between the Committees and NICE.
