Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network
The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) aims to improve care in Scotland by developing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. These guidelines help health and social care professionals make decisions about patient care, ensuring practices are up-to-date, effective and aligned with the latest research and evidence.
Public involvement is central to SIGN's process. SIGN actively engages patients, carers, and their representatives through workshops, focus groups, and surveys. Incorporating the perspectives of people with lived experience and collaborating with third sector organisations and charities ensures the guidelines are relevant to the needs of people in Scotland.
