“Delegates at this timely seminar will discuss priorities for NICE for the year ahead, and challenges for implementing value based assessments.
With the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS) for 2014-18 including provision for a more innovative perspective in the adoption of new medicines, delegates will consider what impact value based assessments will have on NHS providers, the pharmaceutical industry, and on patient outcomes and access to new treatments.
Sessions will also focus on the challenges of measuring value – including the burden of illness and wider societal impact – and the role of NICE and other key partners in encouraging innovation more widely.
The development of new NICE standards and pathways across health, public health and social care, including the latest Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), safe staffing levels, and patient experience and safety will also be examined.
Overall, areas for discussion include:
• Priorities for NICE in health and social care;
• Challenges for commissioning, integration and setting public health standards;
• Progress on developing and implementing NICE guidance on safe staffing;
• The role of new technologies in accelerating innovation in healthcare;
• Next steps for the pharmaceutical industry following the introduction of the PPRS; and
• Early indications on the new value based assessment system.
