SIGN Guidelines

SIGN has developed a series of 113 evidence-based clinical guidelines. This series covers a broad range of topics and encompasses the NHS priority areas of cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental health.

SIGN guidelines are developed using a stringent methodology involving systematic review and critical appraisal of current scientific literature. SIGN guideline recommendations are graded according to the strength of the supporting evidence, thus, enabling the healthcare practitioner to select and prioritise recommendations according to their local needs, priorities, and resources.
