We are an independent horizon scanning centre based at Newcastle University in the UK. We use advanced horizon scanning techniques to detect new health innovations and track them; from patent-to-patient.
NICE provide UK national guidance for the NHS through their NICE technology appraisal (TA) and highly specialised technology (HST) process. NIHRIO is industry’s gateway to NICE, notifying NICE about new or repurposed drugs 3 years before UK license. This early notification allows NICE to provide new technology guidance as close to the license date as possible, ensuring efficient UK market access.
O4 Research is a UK/Ireland based provider of innovative, sector leading clinical trial services and ‘On & Off’ site management solutions. For over a decade we have successfully delivered full and functional services for Top 20 Pharma, biotech and medical device clients across Clinical Phases II-IV and RWE studies. We understand the value of RWE and its role in the development of new healthcare interventions. Our scientific expertise, combined with advances in data acquisition, mean we are ideally placed to help you deliver a bespoke solution for timely and compelling evidence generation. We take the complex and make it simple.
EUCOPE is Europe’s trade body for small to medium-sized innovative companies working in the field of pharmaceuticals and medical technologies.
Based in Brussels, EUCOPE gives voice to more than 900 research-oriented innovative companies and associations active in research, development of pharmaceuticals, biotechnologies and medical devices. Many of our members are developing therapeutic solutions for persons living with a rare disease, who had little to no treatment available just a few years ago.
