Implementing NICE guidelines in social care: Insights for local authorities | Roundtable discussion

On Wednesday 17 April 2024, we hosted a roundtable discussion in partnership with Lambeth Council on implementing NICE guidelines in social care, as part of the NIHR SSCR-funded ‘Valuing Care Guidance’ study. Implementing NICE guidelines in social care: Insights for local authorities In 2014, the first guidance on social care was introduced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to ensure consistent, efficient and evidence-based delivery of care. While these guidelines are a useful framework for outlining best practice, little is known about their implementation on-the-ground, challenges, and what is needed to ensure they are adhered to. In this engaging virtual roundtable hosted by the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) based at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the Lambeth Health Determinants Research and Evaluation Network (HEART), we share the findings of a recent study, ‘Valuing Care Guidance’. This project evaluated how the NICE guidelines were being implemented in local authorities. To further engage with these findings and what they mean practically, we also hear from local authorities and NICE representatives about how these findings will result in improved support for NICE implementation.
