Technology Appraisals
It is important to note that the advice contained within
the guidance does not override or replace the individual responsibility of health professionals to make
appropriate decisions in the circumstances of their individual patients, in consultation with the patient
and/or guardian or carer. This would, for example, include situations where individual patients have
other conditions or complications that need to be taken into account in determining whether the NICE
guidance is fully appropriate in their case.
The following technology appraisals have been endorsed during 2012-13.
