Full Job Description
- Set aside enough time to attend committee meetings and use their personal and professional knowledge to inform the development of the guidance
- Raise any concerns about process or details in the draft guidance with the committee, and try to resolve these issues within the committee, with support from the guidance developer or the NICE guidance project team
- Contribute positively to the work of the committee and to developing the guidance
- Take full account of the evidence in developing recommendations
- Consider the analysis and interpretation of evidence prepared by the evidence review team
- Act in a professional manner, show good manners and be courteous to colleagues and staff at all times (committee members should behave in a polite, efficient and respectful manner and without bias or favour, using the highest standards of conduct expected in public life and service while on NICE duty)
- Be impartial and honest in conducting their duties for NICE, use public funds entrusted to them to the best advantage of NICE, and avoid deliberately damaging the confidence of the public or stakeholders in NICE
- Ensure strict adherence to NICE's Principles and equality policy.
- Read and adhere to NICE's policies on hospitality, declarations of interests and travel and subsistence. The position of committee member is unpaid. NICE will pay reasonable out-of-pocketexpenses, including train fares and hotel costs when necessary, for attending committee meetings. Other expenses: NICE recognises that in some circumstances individuals will need to arrange for carers or support workers to accompany them to a meeting, or to take over unpaid caring responsibilities while they are at a meeting - this includes childcare or care of a family member with a disability or other additional needs. The circumstances in which NICE can provide reimbursement for such costs are outlined in the non-staff reimbursement policy. Time commitment: Committee members are expected to attend two pre-consultation and one post-consultation meetings during development. Additionally, there are likely to be other areas of the guideline highlighted for update with further committee meetings scheduled. Successful candidates will be appointed with this in mind. Our committees have been meeting virtually using online software since the COVID-19 pandemic. We will review this regularly but currently anticipate a small number of meetings may be held in person. Committee members will have to spend time reading substantial committee documents and helping to produce consultation documents. Membership will be for the duration of the guideline and will be eligible for renewal. Further periods of office can be for periods of up to 3 years by mutual agreement, up to a maximum of 10 years.,
- Regularly attend committee meetings as well as an annual awayday and occasional training.
- Contribute to the panel deliberations from their own specialist knowledge whilst respecting input from non-specialists and lay persons.
- Apply their own experience and judgement to the topics under discussion, rather than act as a representative of their organisation.
- Work with the other members of the committee and NICE staff to identify key issues and review evidence.
- Work with other members of the committee and NICE staff to formulate recommendations and comment on the evidence and on drafts of the guidance.
- Agree the final recommendations and guidance.
- Advise on implementation issues as required.
- Ensure appropriate consideration of the implications of guidance for duties under equalities legislation. Follow agreed decision-making procedures and accept the collective decisions of the committee.
- Abide by NICE's code of conduct for committee members including declarations of interest and follow the committee's operational procedures.
- Prepare for the committee meetings by reading the substantive papers and by gathering any additional information on the proposed topics which may be helpful to the discussions.
- Participate in review(s) of the functioning of the committee and accept changes to the membership, remit, procedures, etc., of the committee as a result.
- Participate in induction training and other training which may be offered periodically.
