National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is an organization in the UK that provides guidance and recommendations to improve health and care services. It evaluates medical treatments, procedures, and health technologies to ensure they are effective and value for money. NICE develops clinical guidelines for healthcare professionals and makes decisions about which drugs and therapies should be available on the National Health Service (NHS). By doing so, it aims to enhance the quality of care for patients, promote fairness, and ensure that resources are used efficiently in the healthcare system.
