NICE board agrees to stimulate action following publication of Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review report
23 September 2020 - NICE to reinforce the importance of collaborative working with system partners to ensure a more integrated approach to safety recommendations made in NICE guidance.
The NICE board has agreed more work will be carried out with regulators and professional organisations to reinforce the use of NICE guidance.
The report of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review in July, entitled First Do No Harm, found that had NICE guidance been followed more closely then much of the subsequent harm suffered by patients may have been avoided.
