Attending the day-long committee meeting with NICE alongside RAIRDA’s Chair Sue Farrington to present our work and proposed statements.
To develop the Quality Standard itself we co-ordinated the project group and activity, wrote and circulated two surveys, facilitated a consensus workshop, and drafted the statement and quality standard for review.
This marks the first time that NICE has worked collaboratively with an external group to develop quality standards, and hopefully will lay the foundation for future standards developed in tandem with patients and clinicians with specialist knowledge.
Our work with RAIRDA began during the pandemic, when the alliance were just beginning to build their strategy. Since then we've worked with them to build awareness and momentum, resulting this month in groundbreaking policy change with the publication of the NICE Quality Standard for Rare Disease.

Since working together we've secured an ambitious Government commitment to eliminate hepatitis C as a public health concern.
We couldn’t be prouder to have supported such vital work over the past two decades. The Trust’s work is incredible, and having the opportunity to support their mission to eliminate hepatitis C in the UK has been truly extraordinary.
Recently we've been showcasing the work of our clients from across the charity sector, and now we're onto one of our longest standing clients The Hepatitis C Trust. 🙌
We were proud to support the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce, which helped organise the APPG on Less Survivable Cancers' quorate AGM last week to continue its vital work.
MHA work to ensure everyone in later life can live well. We've supported them across a variety of policy issues, in particular during the Covid-19 pandemic to help secure regular whole-care home testing and support for workforce recruitment and retention.
It's always a pleasure working with the team at Methodist Homes (MHA), and we're SO happy to highlight our work together in our 20 Years of Impact Report. 🥳

It's been great supporting the Taskforce's national awareness-raising, from launching the first Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day in 2021 to growing it into an awareness week!

"We're proud that our work together has prompted NHS efforts to improve sickle cell care, although there is still further to go."
Aidan, Director, Policy & Public Affairs said "It's been a pleasure to support the vital work they do. Sickle cell is a particularly extreme example of health inequalities, with sickle cell patients having long faced inadequate services, scepticism and even outright prejudice."
A client since 2021 - The Sickle Cell Society. 👇
Over the last 5 years, we've built an ongoing partnership with the Sickle Cell Society. We couldn't be prouder to support their parliamentary & policy work.
