NICE guidelines access

[FocusedInbox]

I'm external to the UK so I can't access the NICE guidelines. I'd like to read them to compare to guidelines in the United States. Website states: The NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) site is only available to users in the UK, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.

Would anyone be able to copy/paste them here?

I hope this will open and be of help

the only way to access these pages is with a VPN set to the UK.

Ah! Sorry 😢

Any link to the guidelines gives this warning.

Do be aware that these CKS guidelines are not the same as full NICE Guidelines!

They were inherited, and are maintained, by NICE but they are based on some very old work. They are to a considerable extent a summary of how things are rather than how they should be.

New full NICE Guidelines for B12 are currently being prepared.

Do you have a laptop, on which you can run a VPN? There’s a free and trustworthy VPN in the free Avast One Antivirus product, which you can download OK in the US.

On the VPN, choose the ‘other end’ to be in the UK, and you should then be able to access the CKS material.

I found I couldn’t use SystmOnline to order my UK meds when I was in Spain, but using a VPN allowed it.

Note however that VPNs are detectable, so if NICE care enough about it, they may detect the VPN and still block your access. Hopefully though, they will be like SO, and not care at all.

I use the McAfee version with my antivirus and it’s been fine. And that’s on my phone.
