The EPPI Centre has been involved in many systematic reviews in the area of social care. Our largest project has been as partners in the NICE National Collaborating Centre in Social Care (NCCSC) creating NICE social care guidance on both the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of social care interventions and services. The NCCSC is led by the Social Care Institute of Excellence (SCIE) with other partners of the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) at LSE, Research in Practice and Research in Practice for Adults. The guidance topics range from the transition between hospital and community home settings and social care of older people with multiple long-term conditions.
