International progress for Health Technology Wales at HTAi 2019
The four-day conference was held in Cologne, Germany, and brought together over a thousand Health Technology Assessment (HTA) professionals from 60 countries around the world.
The annual meeting facilitates the exchange of information, expertise, research and discussions in policy. It cultures innovation in HTA approaches and the effective use of organisational resources.
The Health Technology Wales team submitted seven abstracts, detailing our work as a national body. They were all accepted and presented as posters, talks or vignettes.
