Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Guidelines and protocols are increasingly becoming part of routine clinical practice. A standardised methodology has been proposed for the development of national guidelines based on principles which are known to effect validity. However, less is known about the most appropriate methodology for the development of local protocols. A case study is presented of the development of a local protocol for the management of lipid disorders in primary care in Grampian. It highlights the practicalities of such a process and identifies lessons for others who may wish to develop local protocols.
