Please follow the A-Z links to the left (technically appraised drugs are listed by condition, and inclusion in the list indicates that these are provided by the Trust).
NICE TA stands for 'NICE Technical Appraisal' - one of the types of guidance developed and published by NICE.
NICE TAs provide guidance for NHS organisations on treatments (including medication) for specific conditions.
Each NHS organisation must be able to show that they provide all treatments as detailed in NICE TAs.
NICE TA treatment will be made available to all patients who fit the appropriate criteria.
If you would like to know whether you are eligible for treatment with a NICE TA drug, this should be discussed in the first instance with the clinician co-ordinating your care.
