The National Amyloidosis Centre holds NICE's clinical-expert seat at every ATTR appraisal to date, evidence of how concentrated UK ATTR amyloidosis expertise actually is.
UK ATTR amyloidosis expertise concentrates around a small number of named institutions, not a broad national specialist base. The National Amyloidosis Centre, based at UCL and the Royal Free and led by Professor Hawkins, is NICE's appointed clinical expert for every ATTR technology appraisal to date, from TA984 (tafamidis) through TA1121 (acoramidis). NAC also runs a family-cascade and pre-symptomatic ATTRv surveillance registry covering 400-500 patients under monitoring, the deepest evidence base available to any pre-launch sponsor. Our KOL Universe gate (K1) starts by mapping exactly this kind of institutional weight before any single physician is scored.
That structure runs alongside a second, distinct registry. The UK National ATTRv Registry, led jointly by UCL and Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, tracks approximately 800 hereditary ATTR patients nationally, a separate cohort from NAC's pre-symptomatic surveillance population. Diagnosis itself runs through roughly 30 active NHS Tc-PYP scintigraphy centres, the referral endpoint for every HFpEF and increased-wall-thickness case flagged on echo. Our Tier Classification gate (K2) scores named clinical-expert roles like NAC's against registry leadership and scintigraphy-centre affiliation, alongside a strict verification standard: no named individual enters the workbook without a Verified, Industry benchmark, or Requires client validation tag, and this workbook adds no named individual beyond Professor Hawkins, who is already on the record in AXLRx's UK ATTR Launch-Readiness assessment.
The UK ATTR amyloidosis KOL structure — one clinical-expert centre, one registry, thirty scintigraphy sites
| Institution | Role | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| National Amyloidosis Centre (UCL/Royal Free) | NICE's appointed clinical-expert centre for every ATTR appraisal to date; led by Professor Hawkins | 400-500-patient ATTRv surveillance registry |
| UK National ATTRv Registry (UCL + Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham) | National hereditary ATTR registry, distinct from NAC's surveillance cohort | ~800 patients tracked |
| NHS Tc-PYP scintigraphy network | Diagnostic referral endpoint for ATTR-CM confirmation nationally | ~30 active centres |

- National Amyloidosis Centre's clinical-expert role verified against NICE TA984 and TA1121 evidence submissions
- ATTRv surveillance registry patient count (400-500) verified against NAC's published registry data
- UK National ATTRv Registry patient count (~800) verified against UCL/Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham registry publications
- Every KOL entry in the underlying workbook carries a three-tag verification status before delivery: Verified, Industry benchmark, or Requires client validation
