The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published draft health and social care guidelines to help manage the complicated needs of adults being admitted to and discharged from hospital who are receiving or need support from social care.
The draft NICE guideline has now been published for consultation. Local authorities, clinical commissioning groups, home care organisations and other social care groups are encouraged to comment on the draft recommendations before the consultation ends on 6 August 2015 to contribute to the further development of the recommendations.
The final guideline is expected to be published later this year. To have your views heard go to : www.nice.org.uk
