I’m doing a project about evidence-based clinical practice guideline development methods. As part of this project I would like to compare methods of guideline development proposed by different, particularly national or international, organisations. I’m not looking at guidelines produced by societies of specialist clinical professionals like the Royal Colleges etc. I have “guidelines for developing guidelines” from: * The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) * The New Zealand Guidelines Group (NZGG) * The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) * The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) * The World Health Organization (WHO) * The Council of Europe And I have been through the Guidelines International Network (GIN) database. I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of any other similar published documents available in English.
