Implementing the NICE depression guideline

In summer 2010, Guidelines ran a series of workshops on implementing the updated NICE depression guideline at various locations around the country. The workshop series and subsequent webcasts were commissioned and sponsored by Lundbeck Ltd.

These three brief webcasts, filmed at the London workshop, will provide background on the updated NICE depression guideline and an insight into its implementation. The areas covered are:

• An overview of the NICE depression guideline, including changes to the guidance, and how it will impact on clinical practice

The webcasts were commissioned by and made possible through sponsorship by Lundbeck Ltd, which covered the facilities and costs incurred by MGP. Lundbeck Ltd were able to comment on the brief and reviewed the content for technical accuracy in order to comply with the requirements of the ABPI code of practice. The webcasts represent the opinions of the contributors themselves and do not necessarily represent the views of Lundbeck Ltd.
The workshops were financially supported by an educational grant from Lundbeck Ltd. Lundbeck Ltd had no input into the content of the meetings. However, Lundbeck Ltd reviewed the content of the workshops for technical accuracy and compliance with the ABPI Code of Practice.
