NICE guideline on diverticular disease

NICE are currently recruiting patients / unpaid carers / people who use services / members of the public and their advocates (usually referred to as ‘lay members’ at NICE) to join the committee developing their guideline on diverticular disease.

Visit the NICE website for details of what working with the committee involves, the kind of experience and knowledge they are looking for, and how to apply.

Recruitment is open until 5pm on Tuesday, 19 September 2017.

They would welcome an application from those who have recent experience or knowledge of this topic and are able to reflect the views, experiences and needs of the public to ensure they are included in the development of this guideline. Applicants need to be able to contribute effectively in a formal committee setting. Lay members are paid a fee to attend meetings and NICE cover travel and other expenses.
