NICE commissions report on valuing innovation
NICE has commissioned Professor Sir Ian Kennedy to conduct a short study on valuing innovation.
The study will look at:
- What approach should be adopted by NICE to ensure that innovation is properly taken into account when establishing the value of new health technologies?
- Should particular forms of value be considered more important than others?
- How should innovation in health technologies be defined?
- What is the relationship between innovation and value?
The study will gather evidence through:
- written submissions
- workshops with interested parties
- the NICE Citizens' Council meeting in May 2009 which will also consider these issues
A report will be prepared for the NICE Board to consider at its public meeting in July 2009.

Professor Sir Ian Kennedy is now accepting written evidence. To make a submission, please email it to InnovationStudy@nice.org.uk. Please contact Amy Kelsey, R&D Coordinator (020 7045 2096) if you have any practical problems with making your submission this way.
