The ERDF R&I Health Accelerator project is delivering a by invitation-only event for SMEs enrolled for support.

By attending this event, SMEs will:

– be able to describe the different types of NICE guidance for medical, diagnostic and digital technologies.

– understand and know how to access the engagement opportunities and services provided by NICE Scientific Advice and NICE Office for Market Access.

– understand the right route for products/services, as well as NICE’s vision for the future.

Leading this session will be Annie Coppel, Associate Director – Field Team (North) and Health Sector Lead at NICE, and Helen Cole, Industry Partnerships Manager at Northern Health Science Alliance (NHSA) and NICE Fellow.
