NICE prepares for updating the NICE Quality Standard on HMB, due for publication in 2020.
In preparation for a consultation on the draft quality standard, NICE has published a topic overview on heavy menstrual bleeding. Alongside the existing core elements of the quality standard, NICE invited stakeholders to identify a maximum of five key areas for quality improvement. As these may figure into the standard.
In July 2019, the NICE Guideline on LARC [CG30] was updated to reflect the changes in commissioning and provision of contraception in England.
Any materials referring to the October 2005 guideline will need to be updated, though the changes themselves are unlikely to cause a change in current practice.
