Market Access Masterclass

Our final masterclass of 2019 focuses on market access, with a particular focus on the newly launched Budget Impact Template from the NCPE along with the Rapid Review process and procedures.

  • Worked examples – demonstration of the use of the Excel model
  • Troubleshooting 
  • Q&A session with the NCPE team
