NICE committee to develop guidelines on Smoking cessation interventions and services
We are looking for experts on Smoking to join our Public Health Advisory Committee to develop a guideline on Smoking cessation interventions and services. We need both lay members (people using services, family members and carers, and members of the public and community or voluntary sector) and people with a professional or practitioner background in the topic. There are more details on the NICE website. The deadline for applications is 03/12/15 at 17:00.
Leading a healthier lifestyle can delay dementia, disability and frailty in later life
People should be encouraged to stop smoking, be more physically active, reduce their alcohol consumption, and adopt a healthy diet to help lower the risk of developing dementia, disability and frailty in later life.

Key and Definitions
https://www.nice.org.uk/about/what-we-do
Code / Guidance Type / NotesTA / Technical Appraisal / Technology appraisals assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of health technologies, such as new pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products, but also include procedures, devices and diagnostic agents. This is` to ensure that all NHS patients have equitable access to the most clinically - and cost-effective treatments that are viable.
QS / Quality Standard / Quality Standards are concise sets of statements, with accompanying metrics, designed to drive and measure priority quality improvements within a particular area of care. They are derived from the best available evidence, particularly NICE's own guidance and, where this does not exist, from other evidence sources accredited by NICE.

CG / NICE Guidance
Clinical Guidance / NICE guidelines make evidence-based recommendations on a wide range of topics, from preventing and managing specific conditions, improving health and managing medicines in different settings, to providing social care to adults and children, and planning broader services and interventions to improve the health of communities. They aim to promote integrated care where appropriate, for example, by covering transitions between children’s and adult services and between health and social care
IPG / Interventional Procedures Guidance / Interventional procedures guidance recommends whether interventional procedures, such as laser treatments for eye problems or deep brain stimulation for chronic pain are effective and safe enough for use in the NHS.
MTG / Medical Technologies Guidance / Medical technologies and diagnostics guidance help to ensure that the NHS is able to adopt clinically and cost effective technologies rapidly and consistently.
