Advisory Committee

The Research Advisory Committee has been established to advise the Board and Chief Executive of the Charity on its research strategies and policies, recommending change and development as appropriate.

The membership of the Committee has been carefully selected to ensure a broad range of expert, user and organisational inputs. The involvement of clinicians/researchers who are independent of the Charity is essential in achieving rigorous and transparent advice.

The Terms of Reference document sets out the terms of reference and membership of the Committee. The terms of reference are based on the Statement of Values and Principles approved by the Charity's Board on 16th July 2003.
