The HTAi Policy Forum was established in 2004 to provide a unique opportunity for discussion between private and public sector organisations involved at the interface of HTA and health care decision making. It is convened and run by HTAi to contribute to promoting the development, understanding, and appropriate use of HTA.

More information on the HTAi Policy Forum is available here.
Expectations for HTAi Policy Forum members
