The team brings together 15 academics from across the UK, representing NIHR infrastructures including Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs), Applied Research Collaborations (ARCs), Research Schools and the Research Delivery Network (RDN), as well as large NIHR-funded MLTC research programmes. Members span all career stages and disciplines, with expertise in clinical medicine across primary and secondary care, public health, statistics, clinical trials, data science and health economics. The group shares a commitment to research inclusion and public involvement, supported by two public members who ensure that patient and community perspectives inform all aspects of the work.
