CPHSCC Economic Support Centre

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance on promoting good health, and the prevention and treatment of ill health. Details of our work programmes and examples of the guidelines can be found on the NICE website (www.nice.org.uk).

In NICE the Public Health and Social Care Centre (PH&SCC) is responsible for producing public health and social care guidelines. Guidelines on public health topics make recommendations on local interventions that can help prevent disease or improve health. The guideline may focus on a particular topic (such as smoking), a particular population (such as schoolchildren) or a particular setting (such as the workplace). Social care guidelines aim to improve outcomes for people who use social care support by ensuring that social care services and interventions are effective and cost-effective. They do this by making recommendations about best practice, drawn from current evidence-based research.

NICE wishes to appoint a new Public Health and Social Care Economic and Methodological Collaborating Centre (E&MCC) to be operational from April 2016. This E&MCC will assist guideline developers and the PH&SCC technical team in meeting the economic and methodological needs of the Public Health and Social Care Centre.
