Involving you in the development of our guidance

We need you! People with lived experience. Real people. Real lives. Whether you use health and care services or represent those who do within the voluntary and community sector. We want you to help in the development of our guidance, get involved in our work and help us to improve NHS and care services for other people. 

We know the difference that reflecting lived experience makes to our work, and ultimately to the lives of people who use services, to carers and to the public. Having real stories and experiences at the heart of NICE guidance means our products are focused around the needs and preferences of the people most directly affected by our recommendations. 

We will provide you with tailored advice and support, travel and accommodation if required and reimburse reasonable expenses and an attendance fee.

For further information, please see our patient and public involvement policy.
