Therapeutic Procedures Panel (TPP)
The TPP covers all technologies used in primary, community and hospital settings except where these are more appropriately considered by the other panels. The TPP can have a difficult task when it comes to identifying and prioritising research topics in this area because there is often little previous evidence.
