Carl Prescott - Life Science Access Academy

View Carl Prescott's Profile

Carl Prescott joined AXIS in 2023 after 13 years at NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), where most recently he was the Senior Technical Adviser for Methods, supporting the implementation of the NICE manual for technology evaluation. He also worked on health technology appraisals (supporting multidisciplinary committees in their decision-making about whether new medicines should be recommended for use in the NHS), NHS England specialised commissioning policies (where he supported NHS England to develop policy propositions for specialised commissioning funding decisions), and outcomes for Quality Standards and QoF (Quality and Outcomes Framework).

Carl has a deep understanding of what it takes to ensure patients get timely access to cutting-edge health technologies that improve quality of life. This includes expert knowledge of NICE’s processes and methods, their key internal and external stakeholders, and how best to navigate complex NHS decision-making networks. In his role at AXIS, Carl uses this knowledge to support companies in their engagement with NICE to help ensure a win-win, both for the NHS (getting speedy access to cost-effective new treatments) and clients (fair reimbursement for companies driving these innovative treatments).
