The EU HTA Regulation establishes a framework for Member States to collaborate on Joint Clinical Assessments (JCAs) and Joint Scientific Consultations (JSCs).
By working together, HTA bodies can share expertise, reduce duplication of effort and make more efficient use of resources while maintaining responsibility for national decision-making.
Effective collaboration also requires practical support, clear processes and appropriate structures that enable participants from different organisations and countries to work together efficiently.
The involvement of clinical experts, patients and carers further contributes valuable scientific knowledge and lived experience to EU HTA activities.
