The best practice guidelines working group included representation from psychiatry, endocrinology, gynaecology, urology, general practice, nursing, psychology, psychotherapy and speech & language therapy, as well as representation from patient groups. It is the first time that so many different groups (13 in all) have come together to agree a common set of guidelines.
