SHTG’s remit is to provide advice on health technologies in Scotland. The healthcare industry is a valuable partner within the HTA process. SHTG and the healthcare industry have a shared desire to promote mutual awareness, understanding and common purpose in the process of assessing health technologies based on the needs of NHSScotland.
Joint aims include:
- Ensuring HTA in Scotland is ‘fit for purpose’ leading to more impactful HTA outcomes
- Promoting use of evidence-based technologies
- Utilising industry expertise and data
- Encouraging expansion of the Life Sciences sector in Scotland, and
- Maintaining the impartiality of SHTG's work, so that our advice is independent of stakeholders' interests.
