Diagnostics advisory committee

Our diagnostics assessment recommendations are prepared by an independent advisory committee called the diagnostics advisory committee (DAC).

Meeting dates

Our diagnostics advisory committee meetings are currently being held virtually. Dates and venues are subject to change.

Committee members

Standing committee members are appointed for a 2 or 3 year term and specialist committee members are appointed for the specific topic under consideration and serve for the duration of that assessment.

Committee members are drawn from:

  • the NHS

  • patient and carer organisations

  • academia

  • the diagnostics industry.

Although the committee seeks the views of organisations representing health professionals, patients, carers, manufacturers and government, its advice is independent of any vested interests.
