The panel advises the Board in confidence and does not provide advice directly to patients.
Depending on the subject, we may ask all panel members to comment or just one or two. We also ask panel members to comment on documents/papers that the charity is proposing to publish. The panel provides advice on relevant clinic trials. We carry out surveys of our members from time to time and the panel advises on the wording of the questions.
The Charity has been awarded PIF Tick accreditation as a trusted provided of health information and the panel ensures that everything we publish is accurate and evidence-based.
