12 September 2023 - In 2022, NICE introduced the first phase of a new proportionate approach to technology appraisals.
We simplified, removed, or reconfigured parts of the appraisals process. This means we applied light-touch, faster approaches to simpler, low-risk treatments allowing us to produce rapid guidance for some topics.
We’ve recommended 5 treatments in the first phase of this project, benefitting around 175,000 patients.
