| NICE Head & Neck Cancer Guidelines
What are the guidelines for?
They are guidelines for Commissioners of Head & Neck Cancer
Services. They make recommendations about the resources needed to provide
head and neck cancer services. They do not make recommendations about
treatment protocols or policies. The guidelines are written by an independent
writer who takes advice from an Editorial Board made up of experts from all
over the UK. The writer is also informed by the York Centre for Dissemination
and Reviews, who review all the evidence to inform best practice. The economic
implications are provided by SCHARR (School of Health Related Research)What is currently
happening?
The Manual was published November 04.

BAHNON is registered as a stakeholder for the Head & Neck Guidelines,
