New NHMRC standard for clinical practice guidelines
August 17, 2011
Australians can be more confident that their health professionals will have access to the best quality information on diagnosis and treatment, with the introduction of the National Health and Medical Research Council’s new Standard for Clinical Practice Guidelines.
The NHMRC’s new Procedures and requirements for meeting the 2011 NHMRC Standard for clinical practice guidelines (2011 NHMRC Standard) sets out the quality process Australian guideline developers need to follow to produce a world-class resource.
“High quality clinical practice guidelines close the gaps between the evidence and current clinical practice.” NHMRC Chief Executive Officer, Professor Warwick Anderson said.
“Health practitioners and consumers need to be confident that the guidelines they rely on incorporate the best available scientific evidence and are developed using rigorous methods.
“The 2011 NHMRC Standard is intended to be the ‘gold standard’ for guidelines developed in Australia. It draws on international best practice to support Government health reform by contributing to an evidence-based and high performing health system.
“The 2011 NHMRC standard is also designed to provide specific information to guideline developers on the procedures required for guidelines seeking approval under the NHMRC Act.”
The new Standard was revised after a period of targeted consultation and is aligned with international best practice. It makes explicit a number of mandatory requirements that a guideline must meet when it is assessed for NHMRC approval. It also outlines some desirable requirements that developers may choose to meet to further improve guideline quality and implementability.
The 2011 NHMRC Standard will replace the NHMRC standards and procedures for externally developed guidelines (2007), and will apply to all clinical practice guidelines seeking NHMRC approval.
More information, including a summary document and the 2011 NHMRC Standard, can be accessed at: http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/guidelines/information-guideline-developers.
New features on the clinical practice guidelines portal

We are pleased to announce the launch of an improved search interface for the portal. Predictive searching and new filters have been added to allow users to search for guidelines by healthcare setting, intended users, guideline format and method of development. You can now search for guidelines using a combination of MeSH terms, keywords and up to eight search filters to find the guidelines you need. Try the advanced search now and let us know what you think at clinicalguidelines@nhmrc.gov.au.
Third guideline developer network workshop, June 2011
May 31, 2011
The third network workshop will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday 9th June. For more information email clinicalguidelines@nhmrc.gov.au. The prodeedings of the two workshops held in 2010 are now available online.
Australian guideline developer network
January 12, 2011
The NHMRC has established an Australian Guideline Developers Network which is open to individuals whose work involves the planning, commissioning, development and implementation of clinical practice guidelines. The network provides access to experts, access to education opportunities and facilitates peer to peer communication at a local level, as well as collaborative projects run through the Guidelines International Network.
Two network workshops were held in Melbourne and Sydney in 2010 and a third is being planned for Canberra mid-2011. For more details, or to obtain an expression of interest form, contact clinicalguidelines@nhmrc.gov.au.

Australian clinical practice guidelines - a national study
May 2, 2010
The Medical Journal of Australia has published an NHMRC study on the number and characteristics of Australian clinical practice guidelines. The study describes many of the the issues that led the NHMRC to develop a national clinical practice guidelines portal.
Reference: Med J Aust 2010: 192(9):490-494.
Australian first Clinical Practice Guidelines Portal and Register now a reality
March 1, 2010
A new national Clinical Practice Guidelines Portal was launched today (26 February 2010) that will provide links to current Australian guidelines developed by governments, professional colleges, specialty societies and non-government agencies.
Clinical practice guidelines are critical tools used by health professionals and researchers to improve the health of Australians, yet in the past have often been hard to locate, difficult to access and sometimes out of date.
Developed by the National Health and Medical Research Council’s National Institute of Clinical Studies, the new national portal is a ‘one stop shop’ for clinicians, researchers, policy makers and consumers to access guidelines developed during the preceding five years for use in the Australian health care system.
In addition to the Portal, the NHMRC has developed a national clinical practice Guidelines in Development Register. This Register contains information about clinical practice guidelines that are planned or currently being developed in Australia.
The Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Mark Butler, who launched the Portal and Register today in Melbourne, said there is strong support for these in the clinical community.
“Australia is a world leader in guideline development and implementation and the new Portal will improve access to the latest, evidence-based resources,” Mr Butler said.
“The Register is about efficiency, collaboration and transparency. It will improve the coordination of guideline activities in Australia, avoid duplication and help prioritise needs.”
Tell us what you would like to see on the Portal
October 30, 2009
In later versions of the Portal we plan to introduce a number of tools and resources to improve the user experience. Features currently under consideration include guideline summaries, guideline comparisons and an archive of expired guidelines. Let us know what you would like to see.
