The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), an organization providing health care-related guidances and standards in the UK, has published guidelines explaining the process and methods of its Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme (MTEP) designed to promote efficient and consistent uptake of medical technologies within the National Health System (NHS).

NICE developed the guidelines through consultation with the NHS, industry representatives, academia and patient advocates.
