Aims:
This review aimed to examine the range of guidelines that have been developed and how these have been implemented in practice.
Method:
A narrative review was carried out based on a systematic search for literature on the development or implementation of the guidelines.
Results:
The Delphi method has been used to develop a wide range of guidelines for English-speaking countries, Asian countries and a number of other cultural groups. The primary implementation has been through informing the content of training courses.
Conclusion:
Further work is needed on guidelines for low- and middle-income countries.
