Submitting evidence to a NICE technology appraisal
You can provide evidence on behalf of your organisation using the submission template. In the guide below we have pulled together advice on gathering and presenting the information, as well as what to avoid. If you would like advice on preparing for a submission, or for us to read a draft of your submission, contact us on 0161 870 3020 or email pip@nice.org.uk.
Information for patient experts
This document contains information for patient experts on how to prepare for the meeting and what to expect.
If you are a patient expert at a committee meeting, you have the opportunity to submit a personal statement before the meeting. This is so that you can tell the committee about your experience of the condition and treatments using our template for patient experts.
If you have any questions or would like further information about participating in technology appraisals, please contact the public involvement advisers for technology appraisals, on 0161 870 3020 or email pip@nice.org.uk.
