NICE seeks positive future with life sciences industry
20 January 2017 - NICE has set out its position on its complex but positive relationship with the life sciences industry.
Most of NICE’s work has an impact on the industry.
At NICE’s January Board meeting, the Board agreed a position statement setting out in detail the important relationship NICE has with the life sciences industry.
Sir Andrew Dillon, chief executive of NICE, said: “As the independent body issuing guidance to the NHS, NICE has a complex relationship with the life sciences industry.
“This is a good moment for us to reflect on our relationship with the industry and to set out what we can do contribute to its long term prospects, whilst maintaining our focus on primary role in helping patients and the NHS get the best outcomes from the resources available. This position paper sets out how we can do that.”
