NICE publishes first rapid COVID-19 guidelines
21 March 2020 - New guidelines cover the management of patients in critical care, the management of patients who are having kidney dialysis and the management of patients who are receiving systemic anticancer treatments.
NICE has published its first 3 rapid guidelines on the care of people with suspected and confirmed COVID-19, and in patients without COVID-19.
These guidelines have been developed to maximise patient safety whilst making the best use of NHS resources and protecting staff from infection. The guideline has been developed using the interim process and methods for developing rapid guidelines on COVID-19 and recommendations are based on evidence and expert opinion.
