I'd really encourage GPs to take part in a guideline committee at NICE. Being a committee member was a fascinating process. I learned a lot about a subject area where my knowledge was fairly basic, and it motivated me to change my practice.
It was great to hear about the evidence from national experts and to be able to ask questions. The environment was really supportive and friendly. It wasn't intimidating (as I had feared it might be).
During the process I was able to ask some pragmatic questions as a jobbing GP which I think contributed to keeping the guidance simple. I also contributed some understanding about how ‘real-world' processes work in a practice, which led to an adjustment to the economic modelling.

My first experience of being part of a guideline committee came with the guideline on anaphylaxis in 2010. I had such a positive experience that I have actively sought involvement in other guideline development and evidence updates.
