Introduction

The National Collaborating Centre for Women's and Children's Health specialises in producing national clinical guidelines for health care professionals who care for women, children and their families in the NHS.  Our guidelines aim to improve the quality of care, choices and outcomes for women and children.  They are also used to train and educate NHS staff and influence future research so that care can further improve.

The National Collaborating Centre for Women's and Children's Health is supported by a partnership, led by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, which includes the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Royal College of Midwives, Royal College of Nursing and a range of stakeholder and consumer partners including General Practitioners,

It is one of four National Collaborating Centres funded by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to develop clinical guidelines.

See Guidelines for published guidelines and those under development.
