Call for Evidence

This review will examine other examples and approaches adopted when conducting an investigation in health topics. The members of this review are therefore interested in the processes relating to the establishment, management and support of independent reviews in Scotland and elsewhere.   Review members are   keen to hear from anyone who can assist with our work, in particular, persons and organisations with personal or professional experience relating to independent health related reviews. Professor Britton therefore issues this public call for written submissions.
