NICE has recommended teplizumab for NHS use — the first treatment to delay the onset of symptomatic type 1 diabetes by an average of nearly three years. In this episode, we speak to Lucy Chambers, Head of Research Impact and Communications at Diabetes UK, and Amy Norman, whose daughter Imogen accessed teplizumab through a managed access programme after being identified through the ELSA screening study.

For the first time, NICE's updated fertility guideline includes a dedicated pathway specifically for people with endometriosis who are trying to conceive — a direct result of patient and clinician voices being heard during public consultation. We then turn to important updates to NICE's suspected cancer recognition and referral guideline, including changes to how ovarian cancer is investigated across different age groups and new guidance on endometrial cancer for people on HRT.

When the right technology reaches the right patient, lives change. In this episode of NICE Talks, we hear directly from people whose lives have been transformed by NICE-recommended healthtech, including a hybrid closed loop system for type 1 diabetes, an implantable cardiac monitor to detect atrial fibrillation following a stroke, and a rapid genetic test that protects newborns from hearing loss caused by a common antibiotic. NICE's chief executive, Jonathan Benger, also shares our plans to support faster, fairer healthtech adoption across the NHS. Guests Jonathan Benger, NICE chief executive Ammaarah Ahmed and Aleix Rowlandson, who both benefit from a hybrid closed loop system to help manage their type 1 diabetes Peter Hooper, who was fitted with an implantable cardiac monitor to detect atrial fibrillation following his stroke Becky Ridley and baby Ginny, who benefitted from a rapid genetic test to help prevent hearing loss Caroline Knight who uses one-piece colostomy bags following bowel surgery Links Explore support for adopting or developing healthtech: https://www.nice.org.uk/what-nice-does/our-guidance/about-healthtech-guidance/nice-backing-the-healthtech-that-changes-lives NICE Advice service (for healthtech developers): www.nice.org.uk/niceadvice Subscribe to NICE News for Health and Social Care: www.nice.org.uk/nice-newsletters-and-alerts Subscribe to NICE News for Life Sciences: www.nice.org.uk/nice-newsletters-and-alerts Follow NICE on social media: search @NICEComms.
