Evidence Updates
Evidence Updates are publications produced by NICE that provide a
summary of selected new evidence published since a literature search was
last conducted for the accredited guidance in a particular field. They
identify new evidence that might reinforce or generate future change to
the practice laid out in the guidance, and should be read in conjunction
with the relevant clinical guideline.
Please note: Evidence Updates do not replace current accredited guidance and do not provide formal practice recommendations.
More information about the process.
Key Benefits of Evidence Updates
- They reduce the need for individuals, managers and commissioners to search for new evidence.
- They can provide reassurance that current guidance remains valid but also inform guidance developers of new evidence in their field that might generate future change to practice.
- They are an aid to continuing professional development, policy development, service delivery planning and commissioning.
