The Clinical Services and Standards Committee of the British Society of Gastroenterology have undertaken to work with colleagues to prepare guidelines on the management of various gastrointestinal disorders in order to improve the standard of practice of clinical gastroenterology in specified areas. The NHS Executive requires that guidelines should be evidence based and well referenced. The following is intended as a guide to aid in the preparation of guidelines to improve the standard of practice of clinical gastroenterology in specified areas.

This template is only a framework on which guidelines should be built. The format does not have to be rigid and may be varied according to subject matter, but the principles should apply.

Update revisions of previous BSG guidelines may be published as a BSG document independent of GUT, depending on the scale of the revision.
