Reviewers

The SDO programme aims to produce high quality research information that meets the needs of the NHS. To assure the quality of its research, it relies upon the help of reviewers to review:

  • the research and commissioning briefs it produces

  • the research proposals it receives

  • the final reports of research findings

Reviewers play a vital part in maintaining and improving the quality of the SDO programme products and are sought from a variety of fields, including clinical, methodological and those who use NHS services.

The programme operates a ‘closed' system of external review, in which reviewers' comments are sought and passed to internal reviewers in confidence, retaining the reviewers' anonymity.
