The new and first ever NICE Guidance for B12 deficiency - NICE guideline [NG239] - 'Vitamin B12 deficiency in over 16s: diagnosis and management’ landed with us on the 6th March 2024. Previously all we had was a NICE CKS summary. As a stakeholder I was able to add my...

Vitamin B12 OTC update and NICE Consultation
Read the latest B12 OTC update and how to comment on the NICE Draft Guidelines
Eight long years…
And the waiting continues. When I first wrote the petition to make B12 available over the counter it was spring of 2014. Thank you to every single person who has signed and shared that document. In order to try and progress our aim, I wrote a new petition which was...

Make your comment count if your B12 injections are being stopped!
