HTANALYSTS has established a Centre of Excellence for Patient Engagement to help organisations embed the patient voice meaningfully into health technology assessment (HTA), policy development and programme design. Our work combines lived experience research, structured engagement and evidence synthesis to generate insights that strengthen reimbursement submissions, inform policy reform, support commercial decision-making and improve health system outcomes.
