Answer

NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) produce recommendations to help practitioners and commissioners get the best care to people fast, while ensuring value for money.

Whilst there is no specific Departmental guidance issued to practitioners on hyperthyroidism, my Department have shared the NICE guidelines on this condition.

Guidance on the treatment of Thyroid conditions can be found on the NICE website: Overview | Thyroid disease: assessment and management | Guidance | NICE.
