NICE announces details of health technology evaluation methods review
22 July 2019 - Following approval at its recent Board meeting NICE has confirmed the details of its review of the methods it uses to develop guidance on drugs, medical devices and diagnostics.
The purpose of the review is to optimise NICE’s evaluation methods to support the ambition of the NHS to provide high quality care that offers good value to patients and to the NHS. For medicines, the review is linked to the commitments in the 2019 Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing and Access.
Engagement with key stakeholders has resulted in a short-list of topics that will be considered in the review. For each, a case for change will be explored, and proposals presented for public consultation in summer of 2020.
