Join the NICE Board as a non-executive director and help shape the future of health and social care improvement.
Who we're looking for
We're seeking 3 experts in health economics, digital health, and commissioning.
As well as bringing a range of specific technical skills, it's equally important that applicants possess intellectual curiosity, a deep commitment to improving health and care in England and a desire to contribute to collective deliberations that will ensure that NICE is fit for the challenges ahead.
Since NICE was established in 1999, we’ve delivered vast amounts of guidance. More than many other health technology assessment bodies across the globe.
But health and care has changed rapidly since we were created and we're taking measures to adapt. Our principles, and the fundamental priorities remain the same. Given these new pressures, we're evolving to meet the changing needs of our users.
We'll maintain our independence, transparency and rigour. But we will now also focus on:
- relevance
- timeliness
- usability
- demonstrable impact.
