NICE Launches Public Consultation on PMG36 Update to Speed HealthTech Adoption
NICE, the independent organisation setting health and care standards in England, has opened a public consultation on updates to its PMG36 manual. The move aims to improve the UK's health system's ability to evaluate and adopt innovative HealthTech solutions swiftly. The MedTech sector is invited to engage with the consultation, which is open until 5pm on 22 October 2025. Details can be found on the NICE consultation page for PMG36 updates. The proposed changes aim to support the production of technology appraisals on HealthTech, including medical devices, diagnostics, and digital technologies. For developers and providers, this could mean clearer pathways for bringing new solutions to market and greater confidence in how evidence will be assessed. The revised PMG36 manual will provide processes and methods better tailored to the unique characteristics of the HealthTech landscape, without affecting how medicines are assessed.
Specific information about the responsible parties for the PMG36 manual overhaul is not readily available. NICE's guidelines and manuals are reviewed by expert groups from various fields, but the names of specific advisors or their affiliations are not always publicly disclosed. For detailed information on a particular manual or guideline, it is recommended to consult the official NICE website or their publications.
The consultation on PMG36 updates is open until 22 October 2025. The proposed changes seek to enhance the UK's health system's capacity to evaluate and adopt innovative HealthTech solutions efficiently. The MedTech sector is encouraged to participate in the consultation process.
