CXL and NICE guidance

Postby Anne Klepacz » Mon 01 Oct 2012 11:13 am

NICE are reviewing the guidance on CXL that they issued back in 2009 www.nice.org.uk/IPG320 There will again be a consultation about the new guidelines. I'll post details of the consultation as soon as I have them and would urge all members who have anything to say on the procedure (positive or negative) to take part in the consultation. You can already register an interest on the link above.

I agree with Anne that the only way real voices with KC experience can be accounted for and taken on board is if we empower ourselves to use our voice,. so get involved :) x
