Raising awareness
NICE annual review 2017-18


Protecting our antibiotic future
Antibiotic resistance is a concern for us all. Many infections are evolving so they become resistant to the medicines we use to tackle them.

To help protect antimicrobials against the ever-increasing threats of resistance, NICE began production of a new series of 30 management of common infection guidelines in 2017. Giving specific advice for doctors and nurses about when and how to prescribe antibiotics for conditions such as sore throats and colds.
As part of NICE's work to fight antimicrobial resistance, the Communications Directorate created a campaign to complement World Antibiotic Awareness Week.

Raising awareness of endometriosis
In September 2017, we published our clinical guideline on endometriosis, a long term condition that affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK.

Our new podcast series, NICE Talks, began in January 2018. The podcasts focus on people's perspectives of health and social care and reflect on how NICE's guidelines and advice can support professionals.
We produced a special episode about endometriosis.
