Our aim
To provide independent, evidence-based assessments of health technologies, supporting innovation, supporting research and building capability to improve patient outcomes and deliver value to the UK health system.
Who we are
The Newcastle Hospitals Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Group is part of the Medical Physics Directory at Newcastle Hospitals. We work closely with colleagues at Newcastle University, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Teesside University to provide External Assessment Group services to NICE (independent assessment of Health Technologies to support national guidance development).
