| Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) |
| |
| The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) was formed in 1993. Our objective is to improve the quality of health care for patients in Scotland by reducing variation in practice and outcome, through the development and dissemination of national clinical guidelines containing recommendations for effective practice based on current evidence.
|
|
|
The membership of SIGN includes all the medical specialties, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, professions allied to medicine, patients, health service managers, social services, and researchers. The work of SIGN is supported by an Executive based at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. The SIGN guideline development programme is funded by NHS Quality Improvement
Scotland
SIGN has a programme of 77 evidence-based clinical guidelines - published, in development, or under review - covering a wide range of topics. Many of the SIGN guidelines relate to the NHS priority areas of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and mental health. Comments on any of the published guidelines are welcome and will be used to inform the review process. |
