The BSH currently has over 80 Guidelines听that we develop and maintain.
If you are a member of one of the BSH Task Forces, this is where you will find all the information you need to propose, develop, structure and write your new Guideline.
Please ensure you have read the听BSH Guidelines Development Process (PDF). This outlines guidance on the BSH Guidelines development and process, including writing groups job descriptions. 听The听BSH Guidelines Information Leaflet听is a brief synopsis of this document.
We have developed an online Induction Tutorial听which听goes through the roles and responsibilities as a Task Force member. 听You will need to be signed into the BSH site using your member login to access this page. 听听
The听Proposal Form should be completed by the Writing Group Chair and the Task Force representative. The Proposal should have been discussed and agreed by the Task Force before submission to the Guidelines Executive Committee for final review/approval. 听
You can download the Proposal Form (Word) and return it to the BSH Guidelines Administration Team.
Each BSH听guideline follows a standard template which your writing group should听use.
