Update information
September 2025: This quality standard was updated and statements prioritised in 2016 were replaced. The topic was identified for update because the NICE guideline has been updated to include recommendations on babies, children and young people and hospital-acquired pneumonia.
Statements are marked as:
-
[new 2025] if the statement covers a new area for quality improvement
-
[2016, updated 2025] if the statement covers an area for quality improvement included in the 2016 quality standard and has been updated.
The previous version of the quality standard for pneumonia in adults is available as a pdf.
