NICE public health guidance: Preventing Unintentional Injuries Outside the Home - stakeholder meeting

Date: 11th June 2009
Venue: London

If your area of interest relates to Injury prevention you may like to apply to represent the College at a stakeholder meeting for the above guideline.

The meeting is our first opportunity to be involved in the guidance's development, and, given its relevance, it is important that a paediatrician with relevant experience attends. It is vital that the scope of this guidance reflects clinical concerns. CPD points are available for the time taken to attend the meeting and subsequently feed any issues back to the College.

At the meeting, NICE staff will outline the guideline development process, opportunities for stakeholder input, the recruitment and role of Guideline Development Group members, and evidence submission. As such it is an excellent opportunity to gain an understanding of how the whole process works. Whilst the draft scope, which sets out the populations and treatments that the guideline will cover, will be discussed at the meeting, this will not replace the formal consultation on the draft scope which will take place shortly thereafter.

It is essential that the knowledge and experience of paediatricians such as yourself are taken on board by NICE throughout the development of a clinical guideline; if you have had any experience of reading or implementing a guideline with which you disagree, or which you feel fails to address key clinical issues, you will be only too aware of this.

The College is only able to send 2 representatives to this meeting and as such, should there be a high amount of interest in attending, it will be necessary to select the most suitable representatives based on the criteria shown beneath and on our website: www.rcpch.ac.uk/Research/CE/Get-involved/consultation-work-and-CPD.

If you would like to be nominated to represent the College at the meeting, send a personal statement detailing your interest and experience in this area (see below), and return to us via email (clinical.effectiveness@rcpch.ac.uk) by 29th May 2009.

  • Your affiliation to (or nomination from) a relevant CSAC or Specialty Group
  • Any primary or secondary research you have had published in the field
  • Previous representation on a Guideline Development Group for a relevant topic
  • Details of your clinical practice with relevant patient group
  • Any conflicts of interest you wish to declare

Please invite any of your colleagues who may be interested in registering as a consultee on this topic to do so either via yourself if you are the Specialty Group or CSAC chair or otherwise through our website (www.rcpch.ac.uk/ceconsultspanel).

If you have any questions please contact the Clinical Effectiveness team. We thank you for your help in advance.

Dear Dr Maconochie

We write to you as convenor of APEM and would like to invite you to apply to   represent the College at a stakeholder meeting for the above guideline. The meeting is due to take place in London on the 25th July 2008.

The meeting is our first opportunity to be involved in the guideline’s development, and, given its relevance, it is important that a paediatrician with relevant experience attends. It is vital that the scope of this guideline reflects clinical concerns. CPD points are available for the time taken to attend the meeting and subsequently feed any issues back to the College.

At the meeting, NICE staff will outline the guideline development process, opportunities for stakeholder input, the recruitment and role of Guideline Development Group members, and evidence submission. As such it is an excellent opportunity to gain an understanding of how the whole process works. Whilst the draft scope, which sets out the populations and treatments that the guideline will cover, will be discussed at the meeting, this will not replace the formal consultation on the draft scope which will take place shortly thereafter.
