“Clinical Excellence 2003 was the fifth annual NICE conference. … This publication brings together papers from many of those who spoke at the Conference. … These papers offer examples of the type of best practice that goes on throughout the NHS all the time. They demonstrate the excellence of the work undertaken by health professional and academics who concern themselves with delivering quality and improving patient care. Many of the projects described can be adapted and applied at a local level.” (Introduction by Michael Rawlins, NICE Chairman).
