Guidelines
The College develops and oversees a comprehensive range of professional guidelines, including clinical guidelines and best practice recommendations. Our commitment encompasses various areas, such as cancer datasets and tissue pathways, autopsy guidelines, and laboratory service standards, while also extending to other specialised fields. Catering to both cross-specialty and specialty-specific needs, this dedication underscores our commitment to excellence and extends to active participation in NICE consultations.
