Apply for a chance to receive a free delegate pass for the NICE Conference 2023 at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate on Tuesday 7 November.

About the conference

The event reveals how NICE is transforming to deliver more relevant, timely and usable guidance. Apply to the bursary scheme to find out more about how NICE is focusing on what matters most to the health and care system and delivering useful and usable advice, when and where it is most needed. Experience 3 streams of interactive content aligned with NICE key priorities and feeding directly back to the NICE executive team:

The NICE Conference 2023 packs 12 hours of content into just one day:

  • How can NICE work with the pharma and medtech industries to help a system under pressure deliver for patients and taxpayers?
  • What will be the major technological innovations in health and care in the next few years – such as the blurring of the distinctions between digital devices and pharmaceuticals – and how should NICE evaluate them and help the health and care system prepare for them?
  • How can NICE support services in meeting demand, including through early value assessments of transformative digital technologies?
  • How should real-world data be used to evaluate new products and ways of working?
  • How do we address health inequalities in NICE guidance?
  • How do we involve stakeholders in shaping implementation and measuring impact to ensure guidance narrows rather than exacerbates inequalities?

The bursary has allowed us to attend an event which we would not have been able to attend otherwise. Our financial resources are limited. More than that it was informative, a learning experience and a great opportunity to network.
