Clinical Guidelines

The list below presents the different types of guidelines that has been developed specifically for the various healthcare professions but may also be applicable across different professions.

ACE Clinical Guidances (ACGs)

ACGs provide concise, evidence-based recommendations to inform specific areas of clinical practice and serve as a common starting point nationally for clinical decision-making. They are underpinned by a wide array of considerations contextualized to Singapore, based on best available evidence at the time of development. Each ACG is developed in collaboration with a multidisciplinary group of local experts representing relevant specialties and practice settings. ACGs are not exhaustive of the subject matter and do not replace clinical judgement.
