NICE 2008, 10th Anniversary Conference:
Excellence in action

NICE 2008 – excellence in action is NICE's 10th conference, and April 2009 will mark our 10th anniversary. As we celebrate our anniversary we will also be taking on board important new roles following Lord Ara Darzi's review of the NHS, Our NHS, our future.

The conference will reflect on the impact of NICE over the past 10 years; it will also look at what the future holds under the new arrangements described by Lord Darzi and how they will impact upon all those working in the health services.

The conference will also discuss what has changed and what has been done differently since we came into being. What have been the secrets of success and what have we all learned from any missed opportunities? The focus will be firmly on the practical, with a greater emphasis on case studies of implementation in action alongside all the latest news and views about the design, delivery and audit of NICE guidance.

NICE 2008: excellence in action will have something for everyone interested in delivering greater excellence in clinical care and the prevention of ill-health. While the plenary sessions will examine the issues facing us all and showcase success across the board, streams, run in association with a number of partners, will drill down and look at what is working in public health, in audit and locally in implementation at PCT, practice and trust level.

The shortlisted winners from the NICE Shared Learning Awards will feature strongly in the programme, appearing on the plenary stage, in workshops and in the Shared Learning area in the Exhibition.

And as ever there will be ample opportunities for networking and sharing views and experiences with colleagues.
