Our final masterclass of 2019 focuses on market access, with a particular focus on the newly launched Budget Impact Template from the NCPE along with the Rapid Review process and procedures.

Dr Aine Varley and Dr Lea Trela – who were involved in the creation of the Budget Impact Template – will be attending the masterclass along with Dr Lesley Tilson, Deputy Director of the NCPE to provide a practical, hands-on workshop walking attendees through the Template.

Topics for discussion in the masterclass include:

• Budget Impact Template:
  • Introduction  – background, intended use, overall model structure
  • Worked examples – demonstration of the use of the Excel model
  • Troubleshooting
  • Q&A session with the NCPE team

• Rapid Review: 
  • Common errors made in Rapid Review applications
  • Examples of a 5 page Rapid Review
  • What is used from the Rapid Review to determine whether a product will need to go through the HTA route
  • Oncology drugs versus non-oncology – how does the Rapid Review differ?
  • Pitfalls to avoid
