When health is the issue

Decideum’s reputation is founded on our specialism in healthcare regulation. We cover issues across the UK, at European and at international level including:

• • Health campaigns
  • Regulations
  • Access issues
  • Health awareness

We work with patient organisations and charities, professional and trade bodies and healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, either as single organisations or multi-stakeholder umbrella groups.

Decideum has extensive experience of helping clients deal with NICE, SMC and other similar systems, having been involved in such processes since they were first introduced.

This includes:

• • NICE clinical guidelines, Quality Standards, interventional procedures and public health guidance.
  • Supporting more than 65 NICE Health Technology Appraisals and numerous appeal processes.

We are able to translate highly technical data and other evidence from a variety of sources. We compile this into a cohesive case that has value and can be easily appreciated by a wide group of decision makers and influencers who make an important contribution to the final decision. To achieve this, we simultaneously work alongside and coordinate a wide range of specialists such as:

• • Clinicians
  • Researchers
  • Patient representatives
  • Health economists
  • Lawyers
  • Communications experts

Whatever the cause, at short notice we are able to provide highly intensive advice and support programmes to deal with crises or important issues. We do so through senior counsel and advice at the highest levels of an organisation.
