People with lived experiences of health conditions including diabetes wanted to support social care services
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is looking for community members to help inform guidance.
NICE guidance is based on research evidence and takes into account the views of people working in or using relevant services, and other stakeholder groups.
NICE are currently looking for people with lived experience of health conditions, including diabetes, who have a passion for quality improvement in health and social care services.
The organisation produces guidance on the most effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and ill health, and provide social care support.
A statement from NICE said: “We are currently looking for people with lived experience, or their loved ones and unpaid carers, as well as their advocates to join the committee developing our indicators.
“Our indicators measure outcomes that reflect quality of care. They also look at processes that are linked by evidence to improved outcomes. Many of the indicators we develop focus on primary care, also known as care provided or overseen by someone's local general practitioner (GP), but some are also relevant across the wider health and social care systems too.
“We are looking for one person with a range of lived experience across health, public health and social care, together with an understanding of quality improvement from the perspective of people using these services, to join our NICE indicator advisory committee. They will work together with one other standing lived experience committee member, and their involvement will be vital in ensuring that we hear and shape our guidance in line with the views, experiences and needs of those who are most directly impacted by NICE’s work.
“It would be great if we could find someone who has knowledge or experience of how to drive up the quality of services through a range of different approaches from the perspective of people with lived experience – for example, through work they may have done to support or design clinical audits, improvement and action plans for services, or a programme of training or education for practitioners – but this is not essential.
“The appointed lived experience member will need to be able to contribute effectively in a formal committee setting. Our lived experience members are paid a fee to attend meetings in recognition of their valuable expertise and knowledge (£300 for a full day meeting, £150 for a half day meeting), and we also cover travel and other expenses.”
For more information, see the recruitment advert for details of what working with the committee involves, the kind of experience and knowledge we are looking for, and how to apply. Recruitment is open until 23.59 on Wednesday, 21st May 2025.
