How to Build an HTA Dossier
Description
This training course has already run for 2026. Dates for 2027 will be out at the end of the year.
Health technology assessment (HTA) is the standard policy tool for informing decision makers who must manage the entry and use of pharmaceuticals and other technologies (including complex interventions) within health systems. This is often through reimbursement and pricing. This comprehensive, one-day course provides you with the essential knowledge and practical skills to build a successful HTA dossier from the UK NICE perspective.
We'll guide you through every stage of the process, from understanding the different types of HTA and key stakeholders, to mastering alternative appraisal routes for technologies like medical devices.
You'll get detailed, practical advice on how to effectively report the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness data required for a robust submission. We'll share recent, real-world examples across various disease areas to show you exactly what works. The course also covers the specific language and terminology you need to use to communicate your evidence clearly and persuasively.
Looking ahead, we'll discuss the latest initiatives, such as those from the ISPOR HTA task force, and how these developments will impact the future of HTA dossier development. By the end of this course, you will have the expertise to build a strong, evidence-based dossier that meets the high standards of UK healthcare decision-makers.
A provisional agenda for this course is available.
