Specialized clinical commissioning policies work plan updated in England

On September 11, 2024, NHS England published an updated work plan for specialized clinical commissioning policies development (as of September 02, 2024). One MedTech-related policy was added to the program:

  • Long-term left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for destination therapy in adults with heart failure. 

The development of the policy “LVAD therapy for advanced heart failure (all ages)” was previously considered in the work plan; however, in July 2023, the development was paused as new evidence that would affect the policy proposition was expected. In the work plan updated in June 2024, the policy was not listed.

No new policies were published from the time of the previous update. The status of ongoing policies was updated.
