title: Clinical guidelines. Nice work: spell it out for me.
abstract: Trusts and PCGs should take action now to disseminate the list of topics being investigated by NICE. Each organization should carry out an audit to establish how many patients are being treated in the areas looked at by NICE and what their current treatments are. Such information is essential to inform and defend treatment decisions, following guidance from NICE.
