SUMMARY:Introduction to NICE healthtech evaluation
DESCRIPTION:About this event  \nNICE is transforming its approach to healthtech assessment\, but what does this mean for your product? With around 2 million healthtech products registered for UK use\, standing out from the competition is vital. \nThis online seminar is designed for healthtech developers and market access specialists who want to understand how to successfully navigate NICE’s new healthtech assessment process and maximise their product’s potential for positive evaluation. \n  \nWhat you’ll gain   \nGet your evidence and strategy right first time with accurate\, actionable advice direct from NICE. As the NHS in England’s health technology assessment body\, NICE is uniquely placed to help you demonstrate your product’s value effectively. \nWhether you’re uncertain about eligibility\, the assessment process\, or how best to engage with NICE\, this session will provide clarity and equip you for effective collaboration. \n  \nWhat we’ll cover  \nBased on NICE’s updated healthtech programme manual published earlier this year\, you’ll gain clarity on the key areas that matter most to your product’s success: \n\nUnderstanding selection criteria – learn what factors influence whether your healthtech product will be prioritised for NICE assessment.\nThe lifecycle approach – explore how NICE’s recommendations adapt for technologies at different stages of NHS adoption\, from early innovation to established use.\nStrengthening your evidence base – discover practical ways to improve the usability and impact of your real-world evidence.\nEffective stakeholder engagement – understand how to contribute meaningfully to the assessment process and make the most of engagement opportunities.\nIncorporating patient perspectives – learn how people with lived experience contribute to guidance development and how their voices shape recommendations.\n\nOur aim is to drive innovation into the hands of health and care professionals to enable best practice.
