<p>Individual medical schools set undergraduate medical training curricula and the
relevant Royal Colleges set postgraduate medical training curricula which have to
meet the standards set by the General Medical Council. Curricula should emphasise
the skills and approaches that a doctor must develop in order to ensure accurate and
timely diagnoses and treatment plans for their patients.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published updated guidance
in 2018 on the diagnoses and management of Lyme disease, which can be found at the
following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng95" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng95</a></p><p>
</p><p>The guidance aims to raise awareness of when Lyme disease should be suspected
and ensure that people have prompt and consistent diagnosis and treatment. NICE’s
guidelines help health and care professionals deliver the best possible care based
on the best available evidence. The guidelines are not mandatory, although health
and care commissioners are expected to take them fully into account. In addition,
in February 2019, NICE published the following article at the following link:</p><p>
