Reviewing Services

YHEC offers a range of reviewing services from scoping reviews and rapid evidence reviews, through to systematic reviews to inform reimbursement decisions for bodies such as NICE. We also undertake reviews to identify research gaps, to inform the development of economic models and to summarise health-related quality of life.

YHEC staff also offer training in systematic review skills and contribute to research into the development of systematic review methods.

Reviewing Services for the Private Sector

YHEC offers a range of reviewing services from scoping reviews and rapid evidence reviews, through to systematic reviews to inform submissions to reimbursement agencies. We can provide systematic reviews of effects, adverse effects, cost-effectiveness studies and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) to inform Single Technology Appraisals (STA) for NICE and submissions to other agencies.

Reviewing Services for the Public Sector

YHEC offers a range of reviewing services including scoping reviews and rapid evidence reviews, through to systematic reviews. We also undertake reviews to identify research gaps and to inform the conduct of larger projects or implementation decisions.
