Looking through some documents I printed when I was first diagnosed I came across this paragraph under the heading on page 21, 'Good practice points' in the Occupational Aspects of the Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: a National Guideline 2006:

Good Practice Points

Good practice points (GPPs) are practical points that the GDG [referencing the clinical guidance group] wishes to emphasise but for which there is not, nor is there likely to be, any research evidence - for example, some aspect of management or treatment that is regarded as such sound clinical practice that nobody is likely to question it. These are not alternatives to evidence-based recommendations, and are only used where there is no other way of highlighting the issue.

Never come across this phrase before. Has anyone else?

I have hard copies of two other related documents published in 2008 which I can't find links for on the internet. As and when I'm able, I'll create pdfs and upload.
