NICE technology appraisals
Every medicine and treatment NICE has appraised for the NHS in England since 2000: NICE's recommendation, when it was published, whether it still stands, and a link to the guidance and to the medicine's trials on this site.
NICE has published 1,189 technology appraisals since 2000, and 1,062 of them are still current. Of the current appraisals where NICE reached a decision, 90% recommend the medicine or treatment for at least some patients, including through the Cancer Drugs Fund. The most recent is TA1189, published 26 Aug 2026. NICE's decisions apply to the NHS in England; in Ireland the HSE decides on reimbursement, advised by the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics.
What NICE decided
Appraisals by recommendation type- Recommended: the NHS in England should fund it for the use it is licensed for.
- Optimised: recommended, but for a narrower group of patients than the licence covers.
- Cancer Drugs Fund / Innovative Medicines Fund: funded for a limited period while more evidence is collected.
- Only in research: to be used only as part of a study.
- Not recommended: NICE decided the NHS should not fund it for this use.
- Terminated: the company did not send evidence, so NICE could not make a recommendation.
An appraisal can contain several recommendations, for different groups of patients, so it can appear under more than one type. These explanations are ours; NICE's own definitions are on nice.org.uk.
