Diagnostics advisory committee
Our diagnostics assessment recommendations are prepared by an independent advisory committee called the diagnostics advisory committee (DAC).
Meeting dates
Wednesday 15 October 2025 (registration will close at 4:00pm on Wednesday 8 October 2025)
Tuesday 18 November 2025
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.
