Panels and Boards
It is essential to the success of the SDO programme that research 
priorities are chosen in a clear and fair way, embracing the latest expertise, knowledge and opinion.It is also important that those choices address demonstrable and significant need in the NHS. As a result the SDO programme relies on a large number of people, both lay members and independent experts, who make up the SDO advisory structure.
Panel and Board members have a wide range of backgrounds and bring considerable experience and expertise, ranging from healthcare and research professionals to members of the public who use NHS services.
