This update to the NICE HealthTech programme manual sets out in greater detail methods to be used by the NICE HealthTech programme when developing HealthTech guidance. This includes approaches for developing guidance that considers HealthTech products that are already in established use within the NHS (late stage assessment [LSA]), to replace the LSA interim process and methods statement.
