HTA panels

Deciding which of the many research suggestions received by the HTA programme should be given priority is the work of expert advisory panels.

Panel members have a wide range of backgrounds and bring considerable experience and expertise, ranging from medical and research professionals to members of the public who use NHS services.

If you would like to help shape the HTA programme's agenda by suggesting a topic for research visit our make a suggestion page.
