• Biography/ Background

  Mr Tamblyn has more than 10 years' experience in the critical appraisal of evidence for health technology assessment across a broad range of services. He is involved in the evaluation of submissions for devices and pharmaceutical to the TGA for regulatory purposes, the evaluation of submissions for pharmaceuticals to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee, and the evaluation of medical services submitted to the Medical Benefits Advisory Committee. Mr Tamblyn supports and manages staff performing such assessments and provides quality assurance of deliverables.

  Regulatory assessments of Devices

  Evaluation of the safety and performance of devices (including application audits and conformity assessments) for the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Evaluations involve the synthesis of pre-clinical data, clinical data, published studies, registry and post market surveillance data, risk management plans and activities, and the audit of product information or similar documents provided to health care practitioners and patients. Common indications for devices assessed are: orthopaedics, ophthalmology, cardiology, interventional radiology, pain management.

  Regulatory assessments of Oncology Drugs

  Evaluation of the safety, efficacy and pharmacology of new oncology drugs for the Therapeutic Goods Administration for regulatory purposes. Evaluations involve the assessment of the quality of the clinical evidence (Module 5) of a pharmaceutical, which is synthesised into a benefit / risk profile, and a recommendation to the ACM and/or TGA delegate.

  Assessments of pharmaceuticals for reimbursement

  Evaluation of the safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of pharmaceuticals across a range of clinical areas for the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) for the purposes of establishing suitability for reimbursement on the PBS. Evaluations involve the assessment of clinical and economic evidence, and of the financial impact to the 最新糖心Vlogn health care system.

  Assessments of medical services for reimbursement

  Evaluation of the safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of medical services, including co-dependent testing, molecular and genetic testing, imaging, programs and therapeutic procedures, for the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) for the purposes of establishing suitability for reimbursement on the MBS. Evaluations involve the assessment of clinical and economic evidence, and of the financial impact to the 最新糖心Vlogn health care system.
