Equality and Human Rights consultation - NICE TA - Apixaban for the treatment and secondary prevention of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism

Consultation opened on 09 March 2015. Closing date 17 April 2015.

Summary

NICE guidance is designed and developed for the NHS in England and is therefore not automatically applicable to Northern Ireland. On 1st July 2006, DHSSPS established links with NICE whereby all technology appraisals and clinical guidelines published from that date are locally reviewed for applicability to Northern Ireland and, where appropriate, are endorsed for implementation in health and social care. This link has ensured that Northern Ireland has access to up to date, independent, professional, evidence based guidance on the value of health care interventions.
