The National Horizon Scanning Centre is funded by the National Institute for Health Research and aims to provide advanced notice to national policy makers of selected key new and emerging health technologies that might require evaluation, consideration of clinical and cost impact or modification of clinical guidance around 2-3 years prior to launch on the National Health Service.

The scope of the horizon scanning activity includes pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostic tests and procedures, therapeutic interventions, rehabilitation and therapy, and public health and health promotion activities.
