The Team

The study is co-ordinated by an experienced group of researchers with medical, scientific and patient backgrounds. It includes a local patient, public involvement and engagement group, and a clinical advisory group.

We have a group of experienced clinicians, academics and people from relevant national charities who are members of our Study Steering Committee. They meet on a regular basis, provide guidance to the study team and provide overall supervision of the study to ensure that the study is conducted to high standards.
