Where to find the guidance

NHS England (formerly the NHS Commissioning Board) first published a guide for clinicians on Clinical Reference Groups for Specialised Services in January 2013.  This provided an overview of CRGs and explains how clinicians can get involved.  In March, NHS England published the guide for stakeholders.  This more recent document reflects the changes in number and make-up of the CRGs and explains how wider stakeholders can get involved in CRGs.  To read the guidance visit:
