Information on guidelines

Included in this page are BSPED guidelines (commissioned and developed by BSPED) and BSPED endorsed guidelines (produced by other national bodies). Each patient should be considered as an individual in the context of their condition and other medication and therefore the readers' discretion is required in the application of their use of these guidelines. Every effort has been made to ensure the factual accuracy of the contents but no liability can be accepted for any litigation, claims or complaints arising from the use of the guidelines.

If you have a query or comment, or would like to raise a concern regarding a BSPED guideline, or any guideline on this page, please contact the BSPED Office who will ensure your message is passed to the BSPED Clinical Guidelines Officer and Clinical Committee.

BSPED Guidelines (guidelines produced for the BSPED)

The guidelines included on this page have been commissioned and developed by BSPED and reflect the Society's views on best practice for the majority of patients with that condition.

BSPED Endorsed Guidelines

These guidelines are produced by accredited national bodies (e.g. NICE, RCPCH, ACDC, SIGN), of which BSPED are stakeholders. BSPED may have been involved in the development of these guidelines but are not the original authors of these guidelines. Please review the BSPED Clinical Guideline Endorsement document for the process. Authors of guidelines are required to sign the BSPED Declaration of Interest form (definitions of conflicting interests are listed on the form).
