How to Make NICE Guidance a Reality for Patients - Life Science Access Academy

Masterclass Details:

As NHS resources face mounting pressures, the prospect of making NICE guidance mandatory is a topic of growing importance.

In this 60-minute masterclass for LSAA members, Scott McKenzie will delve into the potential benefits and challenges of mandatory NICE guidance. While the framework could streamline NHS adoption of innovative treatments and improve patient outcomes, it also raises concerns about flexibility, pricing dynamics, and barriers to market entry.

This balanced session will help Life Sciences companies consider the potential implications and explore how they might align with NHS priorities while addressing the hypothetical challenges of such a change.

Key Learning Objectives:

Evaluate the advantages of mandatory NICE guidance, such as creating standardised pathways for product adoption and reducing regional variability
Understand the challenges, including stricter evidence requirements, pricing pressures, and the risks of a one-size-fits-all approach
Develop strategies to position products as part of preventive care solutions to improve patient outcomes and reduce costly hospital admissions
Foster partnerships with healthcare providers to integrate new therapies into routine practice while supporting quality improvement initiatives
Tailor flexible, phased rollouts that meet NHS demands and alleviate workload pressures, ensuring products address key NHS goals such as financial sustainability and reduced A&E wait times
