Consultancy service
Get advice about the use of evidence-based decision making in health and social care.
We can give practical advice and support, based on NICE's world-renowned expertise, to help you improve health and social care in your country.
What we offer
Our international consultancy service covers a broad range of activities.
Our scoping exercises and situational analyses activities can provide a deeper understanding into an issue or challenge through a series of discussions.
Outputs from this include analysis and discussion with NICE on challenges and opportunities identified, and a report and roadmap outlining potential next steps, which can be acted upon.
Scoping exercises and situational analyses will vary in terms of complexity and length.
They will depend on the commitment and experience from the partner country organisation, and our expertise and resource requirements.
We can help organisations to:
build technical and institutional capability and capacity
improve stakeholder identification and management, and public engagement
review inception and implementation plans

If you need complex or long-term support, we can break projects down into smaller packages of work. These separate engagements offer more flexibility in terms of timescales and resources.
We reformed the methods and processes in our Philippine National Formulary System with the assistance of NICE International, which helped us reflect more inclusivity, transparency and fairness in our engagement with stakeholders. We welcome this renewal of partnership with the UK Government through the Better Health Programme in this bold effort to institutionalize health technology assessment in the country.
