The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) develops evidence based clinical practice guidelines for the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland.
Guidelines are usually written by a multidiciplinary group who will:
- Decide on questions/issues/scope
- Search for evidence
- Appraise evidence
- Write draft guideline
- Consult widely
- Write final guidelines
- Publish and disseminate widely
- Encourage use in everyday practice
Other organisations, including National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Royal College of Physicians Intercollegiate Stroke Working Party produce evidence based guidelines in the UK.
