National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE)

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) is a UK organization that provides evidence-based guidance to improve healthcare. Its role is to assess new medicines, treatments, and medical procedures to ensure they are safe, effective, and offer good value for money. NICE's recommendations help healthcare professionals and the NHS (National Health Service) make informed decisions about patient care, aiming for consistent, high-quality treatment across the country. Essentially, NICE acts as an impartial authority ensuring that healthcare practices are based on the best available scientific evidence.
