GUIDELINES

Clinical guidelines are sets of non-mandatory rules, principles or recommendations for procedures or practices in a particular field. They are developed as statements to assist in the clinical decision making process. Guidelines provide evidence-based information to help health professionals achieve best practice, and reflect the community's range of attitudes and concerns to a particular topic.
