Adviser

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) exists to help improve the quality, sustainability and productivity of health and social care in England. We have an international reputation for our approach to producing guidance and information on effective practice that supports better decisions and helps the health and care system to prioritise its investment. We are one of the world leaders in the work that we do!

NICE Advice provides a fee-based service for developers of health technologies – including devices, diagnostics, digital, artificial intelligence or pharmaceuticals – and international organisations. Our confidential advice helps the life sciences industry develop high quality evidence generation plans and economic modelling that capture what they will need to demonstrate for a NICE evaluation.
