About us

The Medicines Evaluation programme advises the NHS and patients on the clinical and cost effectiveness of the technologies reviewed and their optimal position in clinical practice. We only review a subset of the total number of new technologies offered to the NHS and we apply (jointly, with the Department of Health), selection criteria to decide which to appraise. Though technology appraisals recommendations are covered by a funding direction from the Secretary of State, our recommendations are not instructions to practitioners, but they are expected to take them into account and patients' access to what we recommend is guaranteed in the NHS Constitution. Our advice, though occasionally controversial, is valued by the NHS and we have evidence (through our web-based database) of their significant impact.

The Business Management Unit provides business planning and support across the directorate. Our support remit includes but is not limited to; data, management information, finance, communications, recruitment and transformation.

Our benefits include:

• NHS pension scheme which is one of the most generous in the UK.
• We promote flexible working to help staff achieve a healthy work life balance including work from home, compressed hours and flexi start/finish times.
