The collaboration of six HTA bodies, including NICE, launched
On October 12, 2022, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) announced the launch of an official collaboration with five other HTA bodies
- Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH);
- Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care;
- Healthcare Improvement Scotland;
- Health Technology Wales (HTW);
- All Wales Therapeutics & Toxicology Centre.
The arrangement will allow the partners to continue to remain independent of one another and work together on shared priorities to identify solutions to some of the common challenges they face. Five initial priority areas have been agreed upon:
- COVID-19;
- Futureproofing of HTA systems;
- Collaborating with regulators;
- Work-sharing and efficiency gains;
- Digital and Artificial Intelligence.
Working groups aligned to the priority areas will meet quarterly to review progress and discuss activities in their area. An annual meeting of all partner organizations will be held to review all activities and realign the developing areas of collaboration where appropriate. The partnership could be expanded to include other HTA bodies in the future, subject to the agreement of existing members, with the signed agreement reviewed after two years.
