title: NICE and LICE: lessons from a health district. National Institute for Clinical Excellence. Local institutes of clinical excellence.
abstract: This paper describes experiences of implementing guidance from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the East Riding and Hull Health Authority area. Attempts have been made to integrate NICE guidance with the decision-making, service planning and monitoring processes but overall progress has been limited. Contributory reasons are explored, along with suggestions on how to ensure that NICE can help ensure effective and equitable services.
