NICE and Cochrane have today (01st September 2021) signed a collaborative agreement which will help to deliver ‘living’ recommendations across the NICE guideline portfolio.
The agreement will mean that the NHS and patients will benefit from a collaborative process which will enable NICE to better use Cochrane reviews in responding to changes in the evidence. The partnership will allow NICE to make efficient and effective updates to the recommendations in its guidelines.
The announcement today follows the recent publication of NICE’s new 5-year strategy which commits it to finding more flexible and faster ways of working.
One of the keys aims to the strategy is to provide dynamic, living guideline recommendations that are useful, useable and rapidly updated.
Cochrane has a long-established relationship with the NHS and receives a large proportion of its funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), and their systematic reviews of health evidence are already used to inform NICE guidelines.
